Why thank you, gail, that is very sweet. I wish the same to All Sapphic Society Esteemed Sweeties.
gail:
And for the guys too, and members of the various Inner Inner Circles
I'm sure you didn't mean to imply that members of the various Inner-est Circles were somehow something other than ladies or guys, since you causally phrased it "for the guys too,
AND[b][/b] members of the inner inner circles?"
Actually, the Inner circles are so secret, even its members don't know if they are in one of them. I believe a comparison could be made to one of the many interstate loops which run around many major US cities, or the roundabouts/traffic circles in places like Washington DC, or Boston: you never really know when you are inside one, until you get out of it.
Anyway, happy V-day to you and everyone else here in the LSF. I'll end with a revised Gaelic blessing for everyone:
May your ass rise up to meet the paddle
May the cane always be on your backside
May the sun shine warm upon your bottom
the slaps fall soft upon your seat, and until we meet again,
may someone hold you over his or her knee.
