Pecky Cox writes: For 7 years Sharon Gordon has hosted a gathering of beautiful women to dine, drink and participate in the Academy Awards. Starting years ago in Portland, OR Sharon moved the party to Priest Lake and now her home has the spotlite on it for the Awards party. You can see dozens of photos of the event here.

*Melanie/Plaid Toaster begins: “So we went to Target yesterday to get the invitations, Tia and I. You can’t go to Target to just get what gotta get and leave, can you? No, we gotta do the loop. The loop is what we affectionately call the out skirts of the store…where the clearance is” here.

*Family Phil/A Family runs through it was shocked to discover that perfect mom and perfect mom’s sidekick were not as perfect as they first seemed when they were volunteers at his son’s school here.

*Bill McCrory/Whitecaps sez I was wrong to post the city memo that gave department directors a heads up that activist Larry Spencer had contacted the Idaho State Police re: possible church-state problems involving the community center here.

*OrangeTV/Making Flippy Floppy announces that his first column (“Get Out”) for the SR’s Handle Extra will be published Saturday — and that it’s going to be a review of the Takara Japanese restaurant here. (For those keeping score at home, Jake gave Takara a thumbs down in Scurvy Jake’s Pirate Blog here.)

*Mrs. Mac Energetic/Whatever Happened To … wonders if the unclad middle-age Dove Girls would be as welcome to mag readers if they happened to be wrinkled old men here.

Meanwhile, Sue has a great line in a poem: “wrote that love is but a scar” here, Starr recalls Goldberg and a brush with the law here, Mari is warming to Cis’ idea of a Cafeteria Party here, Cis is catching a bug here, Silver Valley Girl sez she’d enjoy her fifth-grader’s basketball game more if parents didn’t attend here, the Loves meet with a tax consultant to discuss their new home purchase here, and Stebbijo has money on her mind here.
