    So what kind of card game did you loose in order to have to have your picture taken here?? Or did you just want to be the “butt” of a joke?

    Tonight there is an “End of the Summer” party here – Ottoman BBQ with music and dances Turkish style I believe. We’re going with Andy & Nicky from Sandpiper so WILL be fun. Too bad it wasn’t next week.

    Five more sleeps!
