We brought her up from the age of three to drink pints of Guinness.

I’ll never forget the first time she went to the counter and bought her first round of pints. She was four at the time.

I mean Coors?

Thats just bottled horse piss

being grandads daughter i always hoped for more from you

but on the bright side atleast its not bud

i’ve been in upstate new york, liked it considerably. have a brother-in-law who’s being discharged from the navy this fall that has already bought about 30 acres in the allegheny valley area of new york – plan to rent an RV/SUV/something-bigger-than-my-car next spring and drive out…hopefully before the black fly season…

son -

yeah – one butterfly sure can make a mess of things. probably also the root cause of global warming. makes sense if you drink about it…

wait, that didn’t come out right…

In upstate New York, we have Winter, mud season, black fly season, and tourist season (the last two have many points of similarity).

Autumn is a lovely and fleeting thing, not to counted upon to occur yearly.

Winter lasts at least five months, but with a woodstove, Irish Mist, and batteries, it can be endured, even enjoyed. We had a Snow Day (no school) in April this year!

Yes – It’s always that f*cking butterfly in Brazil. Must kill the little bugger one of these days [and cause the world to end].

The one time [pun intended] that I use ‘fall’ is for the mnemonic – Clocks spring forward in spring and fall backward in autumn. I hate this summer tim-change thing

wow – perpetual…what, not exactly a season, but wet? no wonder the whiskey is so good there…

yes, ‘fall’ – knew but have always ignored what a colloquialism that is…been saying ‘fall’ since childhood, even though we were all taught Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn.

probably a lazy way of referring to the season and it seems – now that i think about it – to be a tendancy mostly among folks west of the Mississippi. New Yorkers, for example, would refer to the season thusly:

“Nah – not fuckinsummer; it was fuckinwoodyallen, with all the leavesnshit”

What’s all this about dentists? Everyone seems to be having Root Canals and Suez Canals and things.

I’m still waiting for someone from Greenland to visit me. I’ve had visitors from just about everywhere else. Why not Greenland?????

Slipping into fall [Autumn!!]? No. Waiting for Summer. Or even Spring.

good morning, son.

how is every little thing on your wee isle this fine day? i’ve just fed the girls and myself and am doing a bit of browsing – sorry to screw with your stats – while I get a second cup in me…

let’s see….what’s the topic…ah – got it.

well, not hung over, if anything feelin’ too good. had a tooth try and go north on me. called up the dentist and he can’t see me until Monday so he phoned in a pain pill prescription yesterday. seemed to improve my golf, too: shot an 84 and wasn’t but half pleased with the effort…

stats – i’m trying to let the 2 little tools on my site go about their business but it seems the more you ignore them the more they inssist on emailing you details, not at all sure why. do like the sitemeter one, though: how else would i know i have one fan on hawaii? or, at least, one persistent IP that hits me from there…

so – are you folks slipping early into fall there?
