A review of the school field trip policy may be in order.

Pete, when I agreed that the purchase of a minibus for sanctioned student outings would be a good idea, intrinsic to that agreement was the understanding that the minibus would not be used to ferry back to the school several tipsy, undisciplined, projecting teenage minds.

I am sure there are a number of clubs in the area that are either alcohol-free or assiduous in their carding procedures, and I would prefer that the official outings, if they include minors, take place at those establishments.

Babbling in hypotheticals is as valuable as skill as any other. I remember a few nights of that myself that turned into full-borne discussions on whether or not I could localize weather effects. I owe my ability to fly to a night of pondering hypotheticals.

Smoothies are one of the great gifts of the universe. Peach-mango, to be exact, or orange with dark chocolate chips. Espically orange with chocolate chips.

Communication is a valuable skill, period, sweet-talking or no, and I imagine no more corruptive than any other. Being subtle just makes it more palatable, or perhaps less readily obvious.

I believe when you arrived, I was .. on sabbitical, or it was just before I left. We should indeed talk more.

Very true. Knowing this, I think, is why I tend to let myself babble once I get started. It's always interesting to see where it takes me.

I am ashamed to admit I have never had an orange and chocolate chip smoothie. I shall remedy this at the first possible opportunity.

Being subtle makes it easier to live with, because if you're subtle, you don't know you're being manipulated. My dad has it down to something of an art form, unsurprisingly. Occasionally drove his assistant to distraction, but then, she always did seem to like me a bit more - or maybe I just hope she did. (Look, I'm babbling again. Obviously due for sleep, here..)

You were away when I arrived, yes. Chat over tea sometime this week, maybe?
