Just back from Seattle, ah, the taste of good fresh fish!! what is
that place on pier 49, Izars? and for the stadium fee of $6.00, I had a
chance to sample Mac & Jack's African Ale -- is that available in
bottles? didn't have a chance to quaff other micro-brews, such a shame!

My pet peeve of awards, is when the Royal giving the award states: " this
(very) good friend of mine . . . . " because it gives the false implication
that *only* friends of those on the Thrones will get awards. Merit &
service is recognized irregardless of how chummy the recipient is with the
Royals. Granted in as small a Kingdom as mine, it is hard to not be given
a high award for merit & service without being widely known.
