    One of these days, I haven't been to the PNW since the late 70's, I'm overdue for a visit.

    Hearing of Bruno's penchant for Canadian men, Don disguises himself as a lumberjack to create a diversion while mimi steals shortbread.

    Great pictures, Bruno! Other than the group shot, I don't even remember having my picture taken. Must've had more Drambuie than I thought. Great captions, too! Haha!

    My honey has never traveled out of the US (except the usual Canada & Mexico border crossing trips)...our first international trip will be to England/Ireland/Scotland, she wants to go where English is the spoken until she gets the hang of things.

    Then you'll want to be sure to ask Bruno for tips on how to refer to the English - well ahead of time; she is the diva of etiquette, f'sure!

    Jeez, I need to work on those abs...

    So Bruno, while we are in Scotland (someday) what should we go see/do? Besides drink of course. Or is that pretty much the local sport?

    I can't wait to hang out with you again. You are a riot.

    I'm not sure if my liver would handle a trip to Scotland. I have a hard time turning down a friendly drink...

    C'mon, Boy! it's not about your liver handling it, but having enough braincells to look at the crew and say "Sure. I can sacrifice you in the name of Scottish ales and liqueurs!" Brave, kamikaze frontal lobe cells die for me evrrrrr mmmm nnnnnnngggggg....

    I have this theory about brain cells.

    There are good brain cells that want to study, work and generally act right. Then there are the "bad" brain cells that want to drink, party and spend your kids' college money on bike parts.

    Bad brain cells are created when good brain cells go bad.

    When the booze hits the brain, the bad cells push, browbeat and generally punk the good ones into having "just a little drink."

    In the bike shop, the bad cells are the ones saying "They are phil wood hubs, that's ONLY two or three college text books..."

    Well, I've already been to college so I don't need to study anymore.
