Thanks for the personalized invite, cleetus. Actually, Flip was the one who raised the issue and I was merely trying to explain to deke rivers (and you, I guess) that "throw in"
does mean "free." I am not unhappy with anything here (except, perhaps, a little laxity in the original use of the language). I am, indeed, a fan of Jimmy Bannos and have frequented his establishment on many occasions, always to my utter delight. So, while I don't know that I'll be able to make the event, I do appreciate the invite (and the more careful language) and, after all, one never knows. Thanks!
