I love the name Zanzibar Zulu. Trixie wants to switch it up to Zanzibar Zuzu and steal it. I am slapping her down now.

Hey Gershon, how are you? Been kinda bummed this year. If Lulu had burned they could call her Blistered Sister. You are funny as always, you lift me up.

Hey, Jean. Sorry to hear this year's been a bummer for you, so far anyway. Maybe you can get 'Comeback of the Year' the last 7 months here. Hope so! Glad to give you a giggle or three. Hang in there, Gershon

Hello Gershon … I wonder what name she would be called if she was sun burnt and not tanned - perhaps blisters Gershon - Lindsay
