Actually, if I would be able to make it this weekend I would be SO up to this challenge. (See my message, below, that I posted after the June gathering)...
"Just got back home after making the excursion across the big pond (that would be Lake Michigan, for you non-midwesterners). Since I arrived around 1:00pm pm Saturday, I unfortunately missed the barbeque. However, I was happy to meet everyone on Saturday. I was also happy to back up my "trash talk" by being able to withstand with ease the attempts of ticklekitten, Sadira, Prinny and last but certainly not least, gigglegal to break me. After a few minutes of their attempts to tickle me into submission, I asked them if they had actually started yet. Either I was almost completely immune, or Michigan women really don't know how to tickle. Trash talk?? No, it's only trash talk if you can't back it up. I'd say I certainly backed it up. But it was fun watching those four women in their furious and futile attempts. Okay, enough gloating."
