...well, sort of. Actually I've decided to become an "official member" of the Mudcat clan and address all concerns using my real
name - Michael Harrison. Afterall, I've nothing to hide; nothing to be ashamed of, right? Well, we'll see. At any rate, the mask is off and I'll be jumping in both here and below, from time to time as I have in the past. Cheers.

How true Peace.
And one day I just may meet up with my Red Wing Buddy. Just like I met up with and become a very good friend with bobad and his wife.
Peace, you and I have now shared times that would in all likely hood never have taken place. I'm hoping to meet up with Big Mick one day. Gnu, Bee I have spent time with. Bankley, topical tom, that crazy extraordinary man John Weldon. And the list goes on and on. Thank you Mudcat.

There's three of us, and last I checked, I was still sipping some mighty fine Jamers, won from the last gobshite that bet against my Wings. And here's the real kicker. In addition to being a great musician (who has also accompanied Jed Marum, my fellow Beef Brother along with Paul Mills), this fine lad is also a fan of God's own football team, known to you mere mortals as the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.

Welcome, buddy. I look forward to much from you, and especially for you and I and Jed to make some music along the way. Let's get Adrien involved while we are at it.

All the best,

Mick

Thanks to everyone for the comments.

Yeah, Peace, Beer's right - not only were no bets lost, but I'm almost willing to bet that all bets are off this next time round with the addition of Marion Hossa to the Wings. I certainly take no quarter when it comes to the Red Wings and the Fighting Irish, but it's always respectful.

Thanks to Sandra and bobad and Mr. Harrison, too - we may have some genes crossed in there somewhere; thanks also to Nigel, Sharon and Leadfingers.

Big Mick, Jed has mentioned you several times in conversation and it's all good; hopefully we we'll be able to get together along the way and sing a few songs - thanks for chippin' in. I'm anxious for hockey season to start and the Irish strap it on this week, so things are looking up coming out of the post-hockey-doldrums.      Go Irish and Go Red Wings.

Beer - always good to hear from you - we'll be getting that hockey
thread going prett soon now. I take a look at the message above if I can figure out how to do it - haven't been there yet, but we'll get it.

Happy Labor Day to all - American or not - we're all workers here.
Cheers.

Oh, life gets VERY interesting when other members can talk to you privately.. *grin* But you can still be about as 'private' as you need to be.

"... the addition of Marion Hossa to the Wings."

What position does she play?

"I use my real name too..Gus O'Sanity!"

You can do that only because ...at Mudcat, there IS no Sanity clause.
