Sweet Jazus, but how the hell are Swanno and I going to live up to this hype?????..................LOL.

Dave and Pam arrived last night, and as we often say, it was wonderful to meet old friends for the first time. I would remind you all that we are travelling to Toronto in order that a quorum will be present for the first bored meeting of Lane, Patterson, Swan and Fielding, Layabouts-at-Large. In my case, make that very large. I will expect all visitors to the bored meeting to conduct themselves with the appropriate amount of decorum. I will also expect you all to give 'Spaw a long distance bronx cheer for missing this very historic and histrionic occasion. We are going to drive 13 hours roundtrip for a 3 hour gathering, but comments about our mental stability will not be tolerated...................OK, Peter T, they will be tolerated but expect us to put some mustard on them and send them right backatcha...........hahahahaha

Be prepared, because Pam is an absolute sweetheart. Her judgement in hanging out with Swann is in question, but other than that she is about perfect..........well.....uuummmhhhhhh....there is the matter of the bodhran she took off the plane, but we have treatment programs around here for that.

See you all on Sunday.
