not to worry, all that happens is that Fortenberry stays away. No one seems

notice, either.

Hmmm. OK then, I guess I won't be needing a cabin space next May.
(Never argue with a Clavemeister ;-).

Fortenberry would be the only reason I would go to another clave. I've never
really fished with him. I have hopes of turning him on to the dark side of fly
fishing......nymphing. And, besides, I bet he's a pretty good fishing partner,
assholelishness aside.

One more thing, Ken. You never saw me cook in my skivvies. That has been a
myth all these many years. At "Forty's Fall Ball" I did go into the kitchen
that first morning in my bvds, but after the many guffaws and laughter
(including me), I put my pants on and a bathrobe. That is what I cooked in.
IJ will verify that because he helped me that morning.

As far as poinsoning people, that is another myth. The gentleman of all gentle
men Jeffie *insisted* that I pour all of the bacon grease into his frying pan.
He then proceeded to deep fry an egg or two. It was *his* fault he got the
****s.

Not one to blow my own horn (yuck, yuck, yuck ), I have cooked at *every*
clave I have been too and have never poisoned anyone. I have received nothing
but praise for my culinary prowess. But, I have to admit that I did cook a few
breakfasts at the Carolina cabin in my skivvies....... but, they were covered
by my longjohns and a pair of comic boxer shorts.
