Speaking of howling at the moon... I LOVE the idea of a trip to the moon with cocktails and cattle dogs! I would totally be playing fetch with my 2 dogs -- it would be perfect! They both approve of wearing backpacks and such, so I'd have no problem getting them into their little space suits. They have so much energy that the lack of gravity and the distance you could throw a tennis ball would keep them occupied.... long enough for me to finish my cocktail! It's a win-win situation.
Of course, there would have to be some sort of magnet or velcro attached to puppy noses and to the balls so they could bring it back without taking their helmets off.
Since space is, after all, the final frontier, what about a moon cocktail with rum? Rum, pirates, the original explorers... I love Captain & 7up, but looking for another twist to put on it... your turn, Sandy! We have to wear astro suits and helments? What about my cloak? I can so imagine myself jumping in slow motion from one spot to another in my long flowing cloak -- holding my cocktail in one hand and my bag for rock collecting in the other.

Oh Phyllis, What a fabulous picture you have just drawn to start the day........it is already morning over here.
Now I will probably never be able to read your 'Folklore and Mythology' articles again without thinking of you leaping over the moon's surface, cloak flying and cocktail in hand.

You are such a delightful joy, Francine. What a picture I have created in the imagination for you. I am just ready to crawl into bed for the night. Maybe I will have sweet dreams of all of us doing our own thing on the moon. Tonight, the Faerie Moon is in it's phase. I am making some Faerie Moon Water. You can read all about that in Ian's Pagan forum. If we can pretend we are going to the moon, I do not see why I cannot pretend to not have to have an astro suit and helmet.  So, I think my long flowing cloak is going to work out just fine.  Have a lovely day.
Walk in Peace and Harmony.

Oh, geez, if it ever were possible to party on the moon, I want each and every one of you there! The getting there would surely be as much fun as the frolic! Francine - thanks so much for supplying that recipe. After reading your version of a cocktail recipe, mine all seem as much fun as a drawer at the morgue. You have certainly set the standard for readability much higher than any I've ever seen. Thank you so much for that delightful description

I think Phyllis's cloak sounds splendid. As we're imagining it all, I'm going to imagine I have one as well. Mine is blue, which is my favorite color. And I think a parasol as well, which means with the other hand holding the cocktail, does someone have a dog that would pull a little cart to put my moon rocks in?
Francine's cocktail (which might match my cloak) sounds heavenly, though I think I've gained a kilo just reading the recipe.
Should there be a nonalcoholic cocktail too? I wouldn't want to leave anyone out of the party because they don't or can't drink.
And will we need a designated pilot?

Mona, my cloak is deep purple with light blue trimming and a hood. On the moon we should weigh less, so the cocktail will not hurt, I think. However, we do need a designated pilot -- you are right about that. Too bad Beetle is not here. He once maneuvered a blimp through the Grand Canyon and kept us quite safe (this was on another imaginary trip). Beetle is gone for the week. Hmmmm...maybe he would not be too enthused about piloting a bunch of women who want to party and frolic in cloaks (or not) on the moon.  You need a cart for your rocks? I was just going to gather a few small ones. Maybe I should get a cart, too, and a St. Bernard to pull it. Then Bernard can also carry an extra cocktail for me. Yes! That is another thing Beetle is good at -- shaking up a good cocktail.

I didn't have in mind a really big cart for the rocks, just something so I'd have one hand for my parasol and one for my cocktail. I could, I suppose, since they'd only be small rocks, imagine an appropriate pocket in my cloak. On the other hand, Phyllis, I like your idea of using the cart for extra cocktails.

If we were on the moon tonight and tomorrow night, we could watch the Perseids as we sip those cocktails while bundled up in our cloaks.  Mona, did you ask Beetlemess to pilot the ship?

My lunar mission today is to get those cocktail recipes published in time for blast-off. I'm going to provide a link to this forum thread, too, so everyone can enjoy this delightful conversation and Francine's wonderful Blue Moon Cocktail recipe.
Did anyone see the Perseids last night? I understand they were at their peak.
