[Bordermarch] Greetings to all

Wed Oct 7 16:29:35 PDT 2009

Your Excellancy,

     I was going to make a comment as to brewing "bear" but apparently
the wolves have beat me to it. But I do need to ask, is it the hunny
bear you speak of? or the more refined white bear? I hear that the white
bear seems to stay cooler longer.

     As far as all the nautical aspects of my life, A&S should be
something that I do not have to deal with on a daily basis. However I do
intend to map a map for you. Maybe it will help you when the Box of
Gamin is not so readily available. A book of my stories, that sounds
like a good idea. And just for your knowledge I do know the art of
calligraphy. I shall have to show you some of my work on day, if I can
remember to bring it.

See you this Thursday,
Chrestien Brule
