Lynette

Just back from a couple of weeks of vacation - sorry I
didn't return your call. Back in town and back to a
regular job starting Monday. But yes, do count me in
for anyone's birthday bash. Thanks for the invite and
BTW Yoga by me...I think it's $10 a pop on 13th Street
and Avenue A. I will check when I next walk by there.
