BS: A Short Goodbye

Subject: BS: A Short Goodbye
From: John on the Sunset Coast

The missus (or ms if you prefer) and I are leaving tomorrow for a visit to our son in Amsterdam. We'll be there the better part of two weeks, so you will not have your humble correspondent, conservative curmudgeon, to keep you on your (mostly) liberal to progressive toes. However I plan to find an internet place from time to time to lurk a little.

It is my fervent prayer that when I return to the Sunset Coast the election cycle will have concluded, and peace and harmony engulf the world. But alas...

Take care all, I'll miss the sparring, but not too much.

Enjoy your visit John - we'll all be here when you return.

HAVE FUN, BUT NOT TOO MUCH!

You know you're in bad shape when you see the word "Amsterdam"
and immediately think of the children's song "There Were Three Jolly Fishermen"

"Amster Amster Dam Dam Dam"

I guess that's better than the next song I thought which, in my mind at least, is connected to Amsterdam: "Tiptoe Through The Tulips"

:o)

Sorry, John. I meant to say "I hope that you and your wife have a great visit with your son!"

Positive vibrations!

John, please enjoy your time in one of the great cities of the world, and with your kids. But hurry back. I need someone to engage in debate with. Preaching to the choir is pretty boring sometimes and you are always a worthy adversary. So, you will be missed, and I wish you safe travels.

All the best,

Mick

And watch out for that "mouse on the stairs"! You know,... the one with clogs on.

I thought that was the mouse living in the drainpipe.

Clogs whenever it rains.

Have a great visit. Be careful and I will try to hold down the conservative end of things here for you. Bon Voyage!

Have too much fun! It's not every day you get to go to Amsterdam! Let us know how it went... if you remember!

It's worse when you confuse Amsterdam with Copenhagen.

One is a beer and the other is a kind of tobacco, right? Wait, that's Amstel that's the beer. Amsterdam is a town with Special Areas For Special Things.

Have, ya know, man, like fun, ya know?
