Me? A wild broad??? Oh gosh, Elaine, I don't know WHERE Paul gets that from! Cause I am about as straight-laced as... that is, I am the most conserva... I mean, they don't come any tamer than...

Okay, yeah, I guess I'm a little wild. I blame birth order for that. I am the 7th of 11 - being, how shall we say "vivacious?" was the only way someone buried in the middle of all those kids could get any attention... or a meal!

Wild broad? Ohhh...I just love that. I mean - at my age - that's one hell of a compliment! :) But hey - he pretty much said the same about you. :)

Why, THANK you, Elaine. I agree - Paul is discerning, especially when it comes to his friends. Wanna know what he said about you? He said Elaine is a very dear friend of mine...

and, oh yes, she's one wild broad!

In my opinion, one of the best compliments ever.

Hi Patti!
Paul Guyot? Sorry - doesn't ring a bell.
Okay - I'm fibbing. He's just so much fun to tease, huh? Always looking forward to meeting a friend of Paul's...he's so discerning. :)

Hi Laura-
Thanks for keeping my cover!

Aloha, Debbie!
You made your way here fine! I'm still trying to figure this thing out too. Nope - not going to Alaska this year. Too much going on this time. But I'll be going to ThrillerFest - and you know for sure I'll see you on the Big Island, yeah?
Mahlo nui loa for be da kine frien Sistah!

Hey Elaine - I was told by this guy that you would make an excellent Crimespace friend, and since he is never wrong (that's what he told me, so he must be right), I am happy you accepted my request. His name is, uh... his name is, um... oh yeah, Paul. I think he's like this writer or something. Last name, you ask? Oh gosh. Starts with a J or a... no, no, starts with a G. Ends with a T. Bunch of vowels in between. It might be French. Or maybe Croatian.

Guyot! That's it. Paul Guyot. Yes, very good friend of mine.

Welcome, Elaine :)
Patti

Hi, Elaine. Thanks for being my Crimespace friend! (I won't tell the law you're here. Promise.)

Hi Elaine,
I'm trying this to see if this message shows up in the right place--it might be that I don't know how to work this site yet. Are you going to Bouchercon '07? I'm planning to--sounds like fun! Get out the sweaters & mittens.
a hui hou,
Debby

We sure did, darlin'! What a feeling, huh?

No, not LCC in Monterey - you took that photo in Paris! Ohhh! How could you have forgotten?

Evil! We made it!

I think I took that picture of you, didn't I?

Isn't that from LCC in Monterey?

Oh, Pat - we'll have to remedy that this year in NY, okay?
Thanks for saying hello - I'll be socializing with everyone soon -got lots to catch up on now that I'm off On The Bubble over at Murderati.

Hello again, Elaine!

Check out my Thrllerfest photos - unfortunately I don't seem to have one of you and me ... ah well, next time!

Slan, Pat.

Hi, Elaine! Glad to see you here. Love that pic, too.

Hey, this looks like fun - thanks to all who wanted to be friends. So - how do I return the offer?

Thanks for leaving a note J.C. & Jeff! I'm still trying to figure out how this thing works.

Hello to J.C. & Jeff!
Thanks so much for dropping by. I'm still not sure how to make all this stuff work. I'm computer challenged. Ah, Jeff-hope you like Molly Doyle. Don't tell me if you don't, okay? :)
