Subject: Picking an outfit

You should have had us choose from photographs.

#1 sounds good and sexy, but if you go with #4, be sure to say, “Thank Donor you were there; I was starving waiting to be called to start work on Indy 4.

In case some of you were wondering, the donor who had invited us to lunch was actually one of the founders of JDS Uniphase, a company oriented towards the design and manufacturing of fiber optics. This obviously explains how he was able to offer so many generous scholarships to the University.

Unfortunately, the company was varied, with about half a dozen students in attendence. Most of them were undergraduates and so (understandably) nervous.

Along with the other two adults, I was mostly blathering on about nothing in particular while the more timid students just sat there and smiled.

Oh, and I wore the first outfit. Thanks for the help, you guys! We make a good team, don’t we?

Since it’s late, and since I already spent up my daily blog quota fixing a problem with the site, I’ll defer you to the antics of our ‘Southern Belle’, Rheesy.

Now, having been raised in the frigid white north, I can’t tell you much about what goes down south of the border.

The farthest south I’ve been was Orlando way back when my parents took little-bitty-me and my little-bitty-sis to partay at Disneyland. I really liked it back then but now that I’m older, I can’t stand those kinds of tourist traps.

Anyways, this came about because some of Rhys’ readers inquired about the curious names of her family members and friends.

Names like, Precious, Misty, Amber, Porsche, Mercedes, Lexus…

You think I’m kidding, don’t you?

Anyways, I’ll leave it to her to explain. Read her post here.

So Rhysee, when do I get to meet the folks?
