I've been on a 24-hour spiritual retreat, but have returned refreshed. I've dried my tears and taken off my girdle.
Offering my apology for the self-pitying temporary decision to suspend future contests. And I want to express my appreciation to the players who extended support and well wishes -- Spider and Julie, Mick and Kijii, Aussie and Bat, Linda and Marsha. Your comments warmed my heart and restored my spirits.
Garth Games will return later this week, with the final Real Men quiz. To paraphrase the immortal words of Norma Desmond:
I promise you I'll never desert you again because after 'Real Men' we'll have another contest and another contest! You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, and the quizzes, and those wonderful players out there on the internet.
(No, I'm NOT ready for my closeup!)

So then, we have one more game before the July monthly report is prepared?  |

Bravo, bravo! I'll be there! (Dang, I can't get any emoticon to work! Well, imagine me dancing and clapping.) Imagining that right now, Spider -- wow, you have some great moves there! |

You are an important reason for that decision, Linda. |

Thank you Matt! Honestly, I think you are the sanest person I know. I'll still be in the desert until Saturday, and then, those pesky church services on Sunday!
But I'll try to post a little here and there! Love you!

That was a message worth repeating, Marsha!  Have fun riding the Santa Fe Trail. |

Those, Bat? Cookie prefers to refer to them as 'Can-'o-Peas.'
I just noticed that our Cookie who operates out of El Rancho Garth's Charlton Wagon bears a striking resemblance to Walter Brennan in RED RIVER. A pretty unappetizing image, I'd say.
