And since I used to live in Buffalo, I felt almost Canadian except for the free health care, but I do LOVE curling. <br /><br />So glad to see the family pic and to learn more about your Strat obsessions. And as for starting new, esoteric religions, I'd join that one! Loved the graphics - and Sherry, as usual, you got the best out of your subject.<br /><br />Long live the tired monk!

I've been a fan of Old Ollie's Humbucker Poems for awhile now. It's nice to get to know the man behind the poems. I dig the kids' names (quite a nice looking family, Ollie!) and was delighted to see Bill & Ted being quoted. Party on, dudes!Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16927345716112968689noreply@blogger.com
