"I have always had a hankering to visit America"

Ake, if you get to the US and take a side trip to eastern Canada you'll have a place to stay here. I would be just a bit pissed if you didn't :-) There's a few stone constructions I think you might like to see and I'll make sure you have a decent single malt Scotch to sip on. Something to keep in mind. Also, I'll show you my collection of Sarah Palin pin-ups.
