Heh. I liked the way you told it. All jokes sound better in a hot tub; just ask Dr. John.

Great party last night; thank you again. It was awesome to be able to attend and not automatically say, oh I won't be in town. And bonus! My neck and shoulders feel notably better after the soak in the tub. Must remember that tubbing (even my own bathtub) does good things for WeeGeeCorps.

Glad you enjoyed it. Hot tubs are fantastic things. We don't use ours as much as we should.
