I laughed out loud at ‘Port A Low Life.’ That’s got just enough ambiguity to make it really funny. It looks like the makings of a great party, with something for everyone.

I hope it was a huge success, John, and that lots of money was raised and lots of fun was had in the process. Such a great idea. Did you get a picture with Santa? If I had known, I would have asked you to say ‘hi’ to him for me. 🎅

I did not get a picture with Santa. He said I was too old to sit on his lap. (He had a point)
