It's nice to see my reputation precedes me. Though I'm going to have to work on the rumor mill, which should be spilling that the only disappointment at a party I host occurs when it's over. Besides which, they've requested a red, white and blue theme - imperial colors or something, dont you know. I've explained it will be a challenge but somehow I'll make it work.
