Mayoff
Day 2000
Please
join us at the 2000 celebration of this unique holiday on Saturday, the
27th of May. This year we've left no stone unturned, no grain of
sand uncounted, as we've scoured near and far to bring together a group
of friends that will entertain, amuse, enthrall, captivate and fascinate.
There will be plenty to drink and to munch, and your presence will make
the event complete. We're pleased that, through friends and family,
the holiday is now known in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Denmark,
El Salvador, England, France, Israel, Germany, Netherlands, Russia, Sweden,
Uganda and across the U.S. The recently created ancient legend recalling
the remarkable role that Mayoffs played in the cultures of the Western
Hemisphere, as well as pictures and sound from previous years, is available
at www.mayoff.com to help you get in the mood. Just click on the
Texas flag.
Many
of our friends have found that sharing water promotes friendship and conversation.
As the evening unfolds, after mingling with new friends and old, we invite
you to join us in the spa and pool. Last year, for the first time
ever, every single person got wet -- well, maybe it was because of the
rain. This year we forecast dry skies and warm water. If you
haven't gotten in hot water with us before, try it and see what we mean.
You'll be surprised at who already has. Besides, it's closer to the
drink machine. Bring a towel if you can, or borrow one from us on
the spur of the moment. Suits, of course, are optional.
We hope
that you will join us.
Bernie and Denise
The chestnut casts
his flambeaux, and the flowers
Stream from the hawthorn
on the wind away,
The doors clap to, the pane
is blind with showers.
Pass me the can, lad; There's
an end of May.
Last Poems, IX
A. E. Housman
