Dear Maddy:
I just wanted to let you know you missed a hell of a party this last weekend. Many of the Usual Suspects were there, from near and far, as well as some promising new hopefuls, including one all the way from Athens. We had great food, great coffee {I'm told...} and great conversation.
We tromped virtual mud all over your rugs; and best of all, shamelessly talked about you endlessly.
But I have to say that for me, the best part was discovering your unAFU friends find you as much of mystery as we do! The look on the otherwise serious, professional, face of your cow orker [I think it was Linda Hopkins...] when she said exclaimed "Maddy on the front of the New York Times talking about ?!COFFEE??...." was priceless.
Thanks for throwing such a great gathering...
