Maybe = No

"It seems to me that maybe,
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might, just let it go"

Jack Johnson, "Flake"

We're in the process of preparing to host a going away party for "Westward Ho", a friend of ours who is following a long-time dream of moving to Oregon. Doc. B. and I have always wanted to visit Oregon, but have never made it a priority - until now. Once "Westward Ho" gets settled in, we've informed her that we are coming to tour Portland, her new home city, and at least get to the Willamette Valley wine country and the coast.

So "Westward Ho" came over last weekend and we created the standard eVite to every single person we could think of (bitch) that might know her. The theme was: "stop in to say hello, and then goodbye" - cute, huh?

As with all of the eVites on which I've been included, you get the option of RSVP'ing with a "yes", "no", or "maybe". You can bet that anyone who responds with "maybe" is not going to show up - it's hard to say no, so this a good way not to have to.

So far we have 31 yes's, one "no", and only one "maybe"...Oh, and one of the yes's might even spin fire at the party - I'll keep you posted!
