GAL,
shorter is generally better and most of your responses are on the short side, so that's a good start.

Definitely *don't* send anything in blue. I'd probably also shorten the bowling response to "Sure, you are welcome to come bowling. We will be there at the usual time"

I'm sure that if Starsky comes along, he'll have this down to a three sentence reply that encompasses everything smile Hope this helps!
