A last-minute blogger bash!
Ehem.
As I was saying before I so rudely interrupted myself . . .
Imagine my surprise when I found this in my comments:
Fortunately, RaggedyMom was keeping an eye on her e-mail and kindly provided me with her phone number and address.
Ages later, my husband was finally able to extract himself from his business meeting, and we taxied our way out to the wilds of beyond-the-subways.
What a crew! Mark/PT was there with both Fudge and 30cal/Moe (all in town for the unveiling). I've seen Fudge a few times since we first met, but 30cal looked a bit older than the last time we'd seen him, which is logical--good grief, was that really almost two years ago?! Steg, whom we'd met before, was there. And we finally had the opportunity to meet Ezzie (lunch in June?--we'll be in touch), as well as our hosts, RaggedyMom and Dad. (The kids, "Ann" and "Andy," were "snoring ," :) as RaggedyMom put it. The parties present at the party ranged in age from the dinosaur of the bloggers--yours truly, 58--and my 65-year-old husband, to the youngest blogger, 17-year-old 30cal, and the sleeping "snorers" :). ) What fun! We yakked about blogging (apparently, there aren't nearly as many opportunities for blogger meetings in Milwaukee), 30cal's college hunt (he'll be a senior next year), our kids, our jobs (and occasionally combinations of the aforementioned, or how having a Ph.D. in physics can help one become a great financial analyst), and everything else we could think of. (I'm afraid I talked our poor hosts' ears off while we were waiting for Steg, who'd kindly volunteered to drive us home, to get his car. Sorry about that.) A great time was has by all. Rav todot, many thanks, to RaggedyMom and Dad for getting us all together!

RaggedyMom, I just read your invitation 30 seconds ago--I was busy posting a comment to Elie's post when you posted! Eek! Where are you? Can we get there by public transit? Or should we fahgetaboutit and just take a cab? Please RSVP ASAP! The Punster is currently with a client, but might appreciate being rescued. :) Reply with details to onthefringe_jewishblogger@yahoo.com.
