more than a lodging queen

Well, you're all in trouble now. At least those of you who actually read this. With a DIM splinter group headed for Turkey, we were in danger of being left without a a blog empress--so I staged a coup. (please refer to earlier e-mails for definition of coup.) Well, maybe it wasn't exactly a coup--more like when Bush was having a colonoscopy and Cheney was president for a couple of hours. Like that. in other words, before Susan left the country, she conferred administrative priveliges on me and Maureen!!!! That means we can add stuff to the side column, invite new members , and create all kinds of other trouble! So, if you find a cool site that should be added to the links in the side column that you'd like other dim/mecca members to be able to access, send it along--we'll put it in the side column. For example, I found a calendar of events in October (guess what, there's a marathon on the 29th--maybe we should all go?) Nancy will be thrilled to hear that there are cooking classes the week we are there (because the Irish are so known for their fine cuisine) Anyway, check it out--and please share if you find good info sites.
