[SatSekhem]

Candle lit. Hat on.

They sound like cool ladies.

 
I'm loving those hats.

[Kasmira]

I'm loving those hats.

 
Hat on, candle ready.

[Ocelot]

I have my hat on a few hours early.

 
Hat on!

[Aisling]

Hat on!

 
Ahoy matey, hat on!

[Finn]

Ahoy matey, hat on!

 
I has a tiny hat?

[RandallS]

I has a tiny hat?

You do, you do!

Lyric and I have had a candle burning since about 2pm. We'll leave it burning until we go to bed about 10pm.

[SatSekhem]

I has a tiny hat?

 
It's a good one.

[Marilyn/Absentminded]

 
Still no hat, but candle's lit.

It's early, but candle's lit anyway.

It's early, but candle's lit anyway.

 
Just lit mine. It'll stay lit until bedtime. Rest well, Chavi and Elspeth.

[Wanderer894]

Candle lit. Later than I wanted, but it's there.

[Kasmira]

Candle lit. Later than I wanted, but it's there.

 
Starting the West Coast shift a little early. I'll keep it burning till I go to bed.

[SatSekhem]

Starting the West Coast shift a little early. I'll keep it burning till I go to bed.

 
My candle was lit at seven and was still going at ten-thirty. It didn't seem intent on going out!

[Starglade]

It didn't seem intent on going out!

Pretty fitting for Chavi, I'd say.

[yewberry]

Pretty fitting for Chavi, I'd say.

And Elspeth too.  

I'll end my contributions to this thread with lyrics to one of Chavi's favorites:

The Parting Glass

Of all the money e'er I had,
I spent it in good company.
And all the harm I've ever done,
Alas! it was to none but me.
And all I've done for want of wit
To mem'ry now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all.

Oh, all the comrades e'er I had,
They're sorry for my going away,
And all the sweethearts e'er I had,
They'd wish me one more day to stay,
But since it falls unto my lot,
That I should rise and you should not,
I gently rise and softly call,
Good night and joy be with you all.

If I had money enough to spend,
And leisure time to sit awhile,
There is a fair maid in this town,
That sorely has my heart beguiled.
Her rosy cheeks and ruby lips,
I own she has my heart in thrall,
Then fill to me the parting glass,
Good night and joy be with you all.


Goodnight, Chavi and Elspeth.  I drink to you both!
