Fresh from their cruise on The Atlantis, Alan and Darren hosted a farewell party at their place in The Tides. Their stay this time seemed so brief and they return to Newport, RI tomorrow. Many of the attendees also had been on the cruise and it seemed like it had been the usual week-long party of excess.

We spent a couple of hours being silly and joking about things like the Pell's chintz decorating and the on-going search for their cat, Peebles, who seems to have made a break for freedom by swimming to the mainland. Everyone was pretty tired, which made being silly all that easier.
