Welcome back, Denny!

I wish I could have seen ya, but we were getting soaked in that same storm down in Houston, visiting family. At least we're a few drops less dry, though. Texas is in the grip of a fierce record-level drought and we need all the dihydrogen monoxide we can get!

BTW--I'm so rude! I didn't say WELCOME BACK!

Well, um...welcome back, hon! :-)

OH NO, dont thank us !! Our pleasure.. You did take a few of these Nawlins evacuees back with ya, didnt ya ??

Glad to hear you made it back safely in all the rain. It was great seeing you again. Thanks for entertaining us. We're looking forward to seeing you in April.

What is this Rain you keep talking about? It has not rained in Phoenix since October 12th....and that was a little sprinkle. So you can send us some we need some moister.

Denny...

Sooo...how was the Slap Your Momma Cake? I looked up recipe...and I'm ready to bake one (and buy a size bigger pants!). It sounds so good! Please don't tell me you don't eat sweets, it'll ruin my image of you.

I live in the Phoenix area, too. It is dryer than it has been in a long time, but still not as dry as it was when I lived in Alice Springs, NT, Australia. It rained there twice. A quarter inch the first year (broke a seven-year no rain drought) and it rained a quarter inch the next year. Both times the population went down to the Todd River (normally dry) to watch the river come in (and go out again).
