And we woulda  come in our black (or transparent) government-issue
helicopters, too. I thought we were gauche enough as it was, but if you
prefer additional gaucheness, we'll bring Frankie (the missing 25%) next
time.  That'll make this year's absentees regret whatever they did instead of
learning to play croquet from Derek.

All kidding aside, we all had a wonderful time.  And Mollie waited until we
got home before she went ballistic from having stayed up past her bed time.
