I’m on my phone right now, so I can’t post a pic of Ailsa Craig for you. But I’ll edit one in from my laptop later.



So good to see you!…

My weekend is going well— though it’s too hot for me and I am impatiently awaiting autumn.

I hope you are having a good one, as well.

4. Everything about Canadian sports makes me think we're doing everything wrong down here.

Canadian football, candle-pin bowling, etc. They evoke emotions of simple enjoyment, entertainment, community, relaxation.

In the U.S., everything is bloodsport. Do-or-die. Ultimate survival. Crush your opponent.

I hate it here.

I want to move to Canada.

This was thirty years ago. Off duty, I explored the Canadian Army camp where we were stationed. They had a candle pin bowling alley. And I thought candle pin bowling was the coolest, most laid-back thing ever.

Polished it off pretty quickly. But my heart is still with Scottish single malt.

Had a couple beers at happy hour with friends and don’t feel like drinking more.

This is a really deep question.

You ready?

How much wood could a wood Chuck Chuck if he could Chuck wood?
