CIB,
of course you're invited to be one of the "crew of characters"!
All Single TOTVr's (STOTV) are invited to be in the "crew of characters". As we can see, many of us already are.
It doesn't matter how or why one is single (widowed/divorced/never married), just that you are currently single.
While most of us will attend the TOTV gatherings at Crisper's (myself included), I've a suggestion for the STOTV's. As each of us relocates to TV, we have a gathering of STOTV "characters", to welcome the newcomer(s). It can be an evening or afternoon gathering at a local watering hole. While not everyone drinks, I think if we can find a quiet bar where we can all sit, talk, have munchies, it would be a nice way of getting to know each other and of greeting the newbies. I'm not suggesting a "formal" singles "club" of TOTV members, but an informal "crew" of TOTV singles (only singles). Yes, I also plan to associate with married couples, but I think couples have many opportunities for socializing. I think us singles need more opportunities and support for each other. What do the rest of you singles think of this idea?
RIPWHO, yes we did have plans to raise a toast. If I recall correctly, you were going to request some tunes from Eric Clapton...Cocaine being one. I rescheduled my relocation for one year and now expect to be there in summer '09. Sounds like you may beat me to it, huh?
