I never get ready for the bonfire -- the blodd-sucking book is pure
escapism.  It beats cleaning cages, putting away shells, cleaning up a messy
room, etc.  By the way, kids never think you have a life -- other than that
involved with them.  Even after they have left we occasionally get a "Where
were you guys!" call.

Not sure yet about the date for the bonfire.  It may be Sat or Sun;
depending upon the weather and the whims of Donnie's sister.  I guess I'll
call tomorrow and find out what she is planning.  Sounds like Sonia does not
want to come, but I will check back with her anyway.
