Bets, better start exercising your mindreading muscles! grin I believe Ms. Wonka and the OW are already married...unless Ms. Wonka disproves it otherwise.

What Ms. Wonka sez in her response was...drumroll....

Hi Wonka,

Past few weeks has been quite hectic here. So many things has come up. Hence the delay.

Thanks for the clarification...yes..the friendship issues are different now. I feel that we are doing okay in that regard. Glad to know you are healthy as a horse! Knock on wood!

I wanted to let you know that I will be in XXXX (capital of my State) in November for a 2-day presentation. My time/stay will be short. Would you be interested in meeting up for coffee (maybe this is a beverage that you can drink now? :)) I do not have the details, but it will be in the evening after 6 pm on November XXX.

Let me know if you would like to meet. Have a nice week.

Ms. Wonka

Nice joking comment about coffee as everybody KNOWS I never drink coffee.

The last time we saw each other in person was back in September 2007 to spread the ashes of our beloved dog at his favorite park.

Seven years. Hmmmmm....should be very interesting!!
