Gosh, it must be all this bubbly going around. But some special thank yous where I know it's due . . .

To Bryce specially, who came in several times in the nick of disaster and filched success from it...

To Maximius, who controlled all our Roman events with tact and organization and let me know just what bar I was supposed to show up at, for what event, and even got me to a couple of sober ones! (and who was hilarious fun in his Aztec kidnapping and our Obstacle race)

To my fellow demis, dear Julilla, Cornelia, and especially JoJo, who had to have his chair surgically removed from his judicious backside due to his support of and participation in EVERY SINGLE EVENT . . . or I think so?!

To all the scribes from ALL our cities, for putting up with the endless e-mails, questions, queries, demands for schedules, requests for descriptions, etc., etc., going back at least THREE MONTHS or more . . .

And to the wonderful "passengers" aboard the Phoenix whose many stories and hilarious good humor kept me laughing right along.

GRATIAS TIBI AGO!!!!

p.s. Tanaquil - I know my cases are improper, but the sentiment is for real!
