 Once inside the Catacombs with Jeri, Angus remembers the spare kilt he always kept there.

 The growing mountain of androids pressing against the door makes it quite impossible to leave through the Laboratory.
3. Baldur wrote:
 7 androids had tumbled in with them when they first pried open the door and squeezed in.

 Angus had been using the space for experimental cheesemaking, Jeri was rather impressed with his firm and nutty flavored Gruyere. There was also a fine selection of wine and many a flashlight on the shelves.

 the Baron von Baren androids equipped themselves with flashlights and began exploring.

 Jeri asked, "Angus, you don't have any communication devices down here?"

 "Nae my lassie, where're too far down into the solid granite, unless I laid cable in there would be no point."

 "I suggest we have a wee New Year's toast and then start exploring. These catacombs are much older than the castle."

 Lots of flashlights. Is that a hairy back on Angus?? Is he the spittin' image of you, Baldur?

 so glad to see the story continue, how was your party?
11. Baldur wrote:
 yes Robin, his back is as hairy as mine, but I'm not a Scot so in my case it's not red, and there is the matter of the huge tattoo.
12. Baldur wrote:
 Some of you had caught this from an old conversation with matthew. There is a huge tattoo of a flying monkey spanning my back.
13. Baldur wrote:
 Because of my sick sense of humor and that the monkeys in 'the Wizard of Oz' were trouser deprived my version is rather obscene.

 Next question..autumn. Thank you for asking. I'm in New England and we had a serious snowstorm starting in the early hours of New Year's Eve. Even so 26 people did show up.
15. Baldur wrote:
 11 people spent the night. What an evening it was. I had come down with a horrible cold right after Christmas and was drugged out of my noggin to be able to breathe.

 I do think however that I was well on the road to recovery by the time the first guests arrived. I gave up my half of the bed to a couple of friends from Vermont and tried to sleep on the Morris chair in the living room.
17. Baldur wrote:
 Unfortunately more friends were bedded down in that room and one of them would not stop chatting
18. Baldur wrote:
 By 4am I was ready to smother him with my pillow. Eventually he went downstairs to our family room and bothered someone else and I got about 2 hours of sleep.
19. Baldur wrote:
 Then I got up and made breakfast for the 11 guests, my partner and myself.
20. Baldur wrote:
 The food was all pretty good, everyone brought something. The punch was so simple and the best I've had.
21. Baldur wrote:
 Fill the punchbowl with cold apple juice and a splash of dark rum. Float orange and lemon slices on top with some whole cloves studded into the skin.
22. Baldur wrote:
 I did actually put very little rum in the punch but left the bottle there if anyone wanted to fortify their own cup.
23. Baldur wrote:
 The last guests left around 11am, as soon as their car was rolling forward I was back in bed.

 Wow... very descriptive... feel like I was there... and since I dont think I was seen I swear I wasn't... there was a strangely dressed stripper there wearing ruby slippers... hmmmmmmm
25. Baldur wrote:
 Oh wait... duh! matthew you're the one who went home with my friend the Blacksmith. He does have a fascination for shiny things
26. Baldur wrote:
 His name is Bob, and looks rather like Angus but has no hair on his back.

 your attention to detail is amazing, Baldur, along with perspective.
28. Baldur wrote:
 Thank you Rasslebear, I'm blushing now. matthew my posse is back.
29. matthew wrote:
 everyone should bring their own posse... gotta get me one... I want one that draws something though...

 I'll settle for adoration, even if it's misplaced
