OK, all kinds of other craziness may be going on in the other world, but the Fora Pool Party has its own life!
We're celebrating Darkstarrynight's tenure and promotion letter!
Who's bringing stuff for the grill?
Where's the Hamster Emeritus?
Is the Infinity Pool full?
(And no, don't worry about viriuses, colds, flu, or any other issues--they're zapped at the gate.)
I have the chopped veggies marinaded and ready to be heated up!

Chocolate! I've got chocolate! Dark and milk and filled with your favorite center.
Congrats Darkstarrynight. I hope you have a big vacation planned for this summer. Take a deep breathe and enjoy your achievement.
Cho-co-late....cho-co-late....
Dark, with caramel, cocoanut, pepermint, raspberry, strawberry, or....
Cho-co-late....

Congrats starrynight! This is excellent news!
Hooray, darkstarrynight! Enjoy these rum-balls, or chocolate-covered strawberries, if those are more to your liking.
Congrats, Darkstarrynight!
Congratulations on the milestone, Darkstarrynight!
W00T! A new constellation has been discovered! Congrats, DSN!
Congrats and celebrate, Darkstarrynight!
Found where we stashed the beach umbrellas! And I'll take some of those yummy chocolates.... :-)
Congrats to Darkstarrynight!
Congrats! I'm bringing the white sangria.
Yes, beach umbrellas and warm skies prevail whatever the weather, here at the Infinity Pool.
Grilled veggies are ready-- anyone for root vegetables marinated in balsamic/maple/sesame oil?
Hot buttered French bread is ready as well...or there's toasted scali and spiced EVOO if you prefer!

Congrats, Darkstarrynight! Excellent timing - we need a party this week!
Congratulations, DSN! Good for you!
Thanks everyone! I am sorry I am late to my own party! My institution did its coronavirus cancellation thing this morning, so I am emailing my panicked students and rescheduling guest speakers...probably the same situation everywhere. Yet, I am celebrating and loved the constellation creation, Wahoo Redux! Thanks for planning, M!
*Grabs a glass of white sangria*
I do love the grilled veggies in this marinade, yum!
I also love rum-balls...my grandmother made these. And yes, who does not love chocolate?
The on-campus reception for newly promoted and tenured faculty is scheduled during my night class, but my colleague kindly offered to cover for me so I can attend. Yet, it is scheduled for three days after our current "no events can take place" time frame so who knows If I will attend? Or if my class would need to "be covered" even? What an interesting time!
You'll have to let us know who has the better party and food!
Enjoy!

Congrats darkstarrynight! I'll bring a chocolate mousse cake.
Congrats! I've got ruby chocolate.
There is a definite chocolate-y theme to this party!
A dark, starry, chocolate-y night theme.

Congratulations, Darkstarrynight! I've brought, ahem, Milky Way bars.
Perfect!
M.
aside, that is perfectly appropriate! Thanks for everyone's treats!
