Okay - I get it. We used to play a White Elephant Game at Christmas. You would roll the dice and if you got doubles you could take a wrapped gift from the pile in the middle. Once all the gifts were gone, the people who had them opened them. Then we set a timer and rolled the dice. Whoever got doubles could steal the gift they wanted most. Every year there was something every one wanted. Baudy was good. Ususally the popular things were Leopard G Strings, an X Rated Book, something like a Spiro Gyra CD, and the real winner was an outdated used pair of WHITE Men's Platform Shoes ala John Travolta.

OK, now the cat's outta the bag regarding the gift exchange. You will receive instructions onboard. Pretend you know nothing.

Repeat repeatedly "I know nothing" (Your spouse overhearing you will no doubt readily agree).

Oh, Sheri and I are not proud. Any and all contributions to the progressive cocktail party will be welcomed (and consumed :banana: !).

Ngaire - Last year we had the pleasure of listening to Hal Frasier on our first week but he did go on vacation the second week (August 28). We really missed his music. I would expect that he will be there for PIP if he's not known for going on vacation often and went on one last autumn.
