"I propose a toast to the Queen and the Craft!"

I will be the Installing Master and would like you to "Toast the Queen & the Craft" after the lodge closes on December 14.

Are you ok with this?

___


This sounds intriguing, although I have absolutely no clue what you are talking about!

Hi Josh -
It's quite painless really. On December 14th, after the lodge closes we sing the National Anthem, the Chaplain says grace, then without prompting you will stand & say loud enough for everyone in the room to hear - "I propose a toast to the Queen and the Craft". The brethren will respond saying "the Queen and the Craft" and we then disperse.

Hi _____,

Again, this sounds interesting.  Yet I have no idea what the "lodge" is, who the "Queen and the Craft" are, or really anything else about your email.  I'm a law prof. in Kentucky.  I'm guessing you need to check your email address.

But if you're serving tacos maybe I'll come...!

I LOVE SALSA!

Subject line: come baaack!

We miss you in salsa class! You coming back?

____

I LOVE SALSA!  THE FOOD, THE MUSIC, AND THE DANCE!  Alas, I've never taken a class on any of those things.

But your email makes me want to eat a taco while listening to some cumbia and working on my moves...

(Good luck finding the right person.)

The dance or the food?

Hey, thanks for joining our salsa class on Monday! Below is the last salsa newsletter, I'll add your email addresses to the next one, we usually send them out on Sundays. Hope to see you back on the dance floor!

Hi ____,

Salsa sounds great!  (The dance, not the food, right?  I like the food too!).  

Alas, although I once played in a Latin Jazz band (seriously--we were called "Los Gringos"), I didn't go to your salsa class; nor do I live in the Pacific Northwest.  I hope the other Josh Douglas had a good time, and I hope you can find his correct email address.

Best,

Josh

I like food

Hi! If you are planning on bringing food for your table during the Around the World Activity, please make sure you have a bunch of sample size portions. We will be providing utensils,napkins, and plates if you should need them. See you all Thursday. Thank you!

_____

Just an FYI that you have the wrong person.  But it still sounds fun!  Can I come anyway?

Should I mention the drug use?

Josh, 

Here are the instructions for the peer letter of rec. They said as long as you include my full name and date of birth they can figure out which application it goes with, so when you are done you can either email or mail it to them. Sorry for getting it to you so late. You should complete it asap because its already later than it should be. Thanks

Dear [Name}

I'll be thrilled to do this.  Should I mention your drug use?  Or the time you were arrested?  Just checking.

Josh

P.S.--you reached the wrong Josh.  But good luck!  My brother went to [that school] and loved it.  Go [mascot]!
