Can I come, too? I make great margaritas. The good part of a virtual party is that I can drive home! If I actually drove to Berkeley, I would either not be able to have a margarita which would defeat the purpose of the party, or I would get arrested on the way home!

You're right, we've definitely gone sideways. I hope Diane doesn't care. What started as her great post turned into the plannings of a great party!


Absolutely NOT. I just want to be invivted to the party---on the rocks only, no blenders allowed. Also, I think we should find that poor lady and invite her. I think she could use a drink.

Besides, watching Nena´s deck dry sounds like a great activity. :lol:

Then again, I have been known to stare at San Roque Island for a couple of hours just to watch how the light changes. :lol:

O.K., I`m there too!! Well I will be vitually in NA`s back yard, just across the bay, where Tony Bennet left his heart! Itinerary includes hot springs (Miracle), Emeryville, JW Marriott, union square, Home restaurant, any dive bar near union square, back to Emeryville (Sun AM), train to Bakersfield, camp on Carrizo Plane. (Subject to change).
And to NA-- I think you should make up a name for you (yo be) annual party!! The "leave your virtual wife (spouse) at the virtual gas station, in your virtual motor home and run like Heck" or something like that.
And naturally we`ll start with a little dancing!

OK, here's the plan. Virtual party for wimmen of Nomads each Friday eve at my place. Entertainment at next gathering will be Paulina and Debra doing the wedding dress dance. Perhaps one Friday we might watch videos of Vandy's granddaughter and her cheerleader friends - quality entertainment as well as allowing some of us to relive the good ol' days.;D:dudette:

I will provide rocking chairs, but you must promise to keep rocking as we watch that deck sealer dry.... otherwise you risk getting stuck and becoming a permanent object d'art. About watching sealer dry... Diane and I already know how much fun this type of thing can be, and I hope the rest of you learn to enjoy it as much as we do.

Once a year we'll celebrate Leave Your Spouse at the Gas Station Day. After doing so, we'll gather for a viewing of Baghdad Cafe.

I've received mail indicating feelings of exclusion by some of the male contingent. So... once a month we'll include non-blind/deaf/mute men for the Margarita hour. I have a large backyard.... will put a fire ring and portapotty in the southwest corner. Vandy has volunteered to bring beer. From that vantage point you can see the deck, the sealer drying, and the lovely vision of all of us Nomad wimmen rocking and sipping tequila. Surely a voyeur's dream come true.:lol:

**A special thanks to Diane, who is such a good sport about the silly turn her post has taken.

I still think you guys are missing a great oportunity to develop this theme by not taking it to Chat, at least. This could be the start of a thousand year tradition and a BajaNomad showcase. "c-cktails at Natalie Anns."

OK, I have a better idea;

January in Bahia Asuncion so Shari and Diane and my wife can join you.

I will serve Margies, sushi, and other delectibles while sporting my darkest shades and sound-blocking ear muffs.
Maybe Juan will stroll by in his Speedo ?? :biggrin:

And, we can trust those sound-blocking ear muffs?? Yea, right. :spingrin::spingrin:

Nena, I thought about calling out the thread police and I understand they do NOT accept mordida. But I like this party idea far better. :lol::lol::lol:

Well Diver, those shades must be doing a good job or you would have noticed that Shari and Diane and your wife (even if she does not post here) are all wimmen of Nomads, and therefore part of the founders of this fiesta.

We'll leave the check on those sound-blocking earmuffs to Diane, who seems to be on to your tricks.;D You will also need some duct tape for the mouth (remember it's see/hear/speak no evil). Fortunately we have an ample supply of this tape at my place... often used for me when I've been prattling on too long.:rolleyes:

Juan, with or without thong, is welcome to join the men's contingent 'round the fire.:O

And now I think it's best if I duct tape my fingers and post here no more. See y'all next Friday for the famed Berkeley Virtual Margarita Hour. Get your best stories ready, por favor.

He worked for several years at the college I am still working at. We backpacked many times together; multi day trips. Couple times ascending Whitney.

I do have his book, too. Havent seen him in many years now. Cant believe he's not occasionally checking this board.

JOHN, YOU OUT THERE?

Well MY theory is because the wife was sleeping in the back when he pulled in, and assumed she was still snoozing when he took off. Maybe she's not the snoring type.
I'm sure the silence was broken once she climbed back in that motorhome!

Nena my dear, deck sealer will never dry if you keep applying fresh coats and rocking along in the fumes. :tumble:

oops... I think I am getting the duct tape.

Cap - You're definitely getting the duct tape, smartypants.:P;D

And if ya want to grok this sealer thing, you'd have to understand that there was only ever one coat applied... but the dude sprayed on roughly four times the required amount. We'll be rocking and breathing fumes for years to come.:no::lol:
