Conscience is a man's compass, and though the needle sometimes deviates,
though one often perceives irregularities when directing one's course
by it, one must still try to follow its direction. -Vincent van Gogh,
painter (30 Mar 1853-1890)
Patrick, That would be nice. Yes, I'll be happy to join you. Peter Hello Three No Trumpers, Indonesians, Calgarians, Tinsel Town, Spokane and others! Jugos Dom Pedro, from Naramatia, has kindly agreed to join us this coming Sunday so we now have a four-some! This being the case, we will aim to start anytime after 1:00 pm. I know Pam has an earlier commitment but the lads can always sip malt until she arrives! Make a left off Eckhardt, Michaelo, (I assume you will be coming from Summerland way.), on Burns Street, just up from PenHi, two streets before Government. Our house is 611, second from the northwest corner. There is a 17 story skyscraper duplex being built beside us so that should help you find the address.
Michaelo, if you have already asked another friend to join us, the individual in question is still welcome to come along as I am happy to play host, generally give sage bidding advice, serve highly alcoholic beverages, tasty snacks, etc. Guillermo, you are welcome to come and learn from the experts so hope you can join us, if only to wait on the demanding players!
So thanks again, to Mr Summerland and The Vigneron, for agreeing to come along to facilitate what I trust will become an on-going bridge gathering, the finest in the Southern Okanagan if not the known universe! We are in Vancouver, at the moment, (having attended a close friend's retirement party yesterday), and the sky is screamingly blue with nary a pesky cloud to spoil the day. Look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday. Here is our home phone number in case anyone should need to call. Fondestos from Lady Dar and Chloë, our grumpy hostess, annoyed that her parents have the temerity to insist themselves on her "space", a loft on Wall, off Pender, for two nights! Cheers, Patrizzio! Pics: Sarge as a raw RCMP recruit; cutting cake; Patrizzio banished to couch; view industriale from Chloë's place to North Shore mountains. No pics. Wayne no pics!! Ayn
Hi Patrick, Yes, a nice day in Vancouver. I'm just on my way to YVR on Canada Line. See you Sunday. Peter Hi Jugos! Thanks again for playing on Sunday. Much appreciated! Too, too bad you couldn't join us for dinner at Chloë's this evening. Lady Dar is doing slow-cooked ribs. Ragin' Bull, Colleen and Al, Vittorio, (of Swedish Twins fame), and his girlfriend, Jessica, are coming for the evening. Travel safely wherever you are heading! Cheers, Patrizzio! Heading home
Hi Pat, Corinne, just a heads up: we should arrive at Chloe's place between 430-5p with porch/chain cleaner in hand Take care and see you soon, VL
Hi Vittorino! Poifect timing! Make sure you remember about not being able to make a left onto Wall between 3:00-6:00 pm! As well, call Lady Dar's cell once you are here and I'll come downstairs to let you in. Also, bring a sweater or a jacket since we might start with drinks on 4th floor patio as there is a lovely view from there and wonderful day for it as well, of course. However, can be windy and cool there later on. Look forward to tasting the porch/chain cleaner/climber! Cheers, Patrizzio!
Hi Victor, The best way to come to my place is turn left into the gas station on Powell just after Victoria Drive which is legal and cut across the parking lot to Wall Street. See you tonight!! Chloe
I am a graduate of the University of Virginia Law School so I get the UVa magazine Virginia. And lo and behold the Spring 2016 issue had an article about how a Charlottesville detective tracked down the SOB who had been looting map libraries all across North America including our own UBC map collection. I know its not exactly a war crime, but bringing a conclusion to this cold case is satisfying. I know Basil would have given this article a fist bump! As the motto on the law school facade has it: "Fiat Justita Ruat Coelum". I tried scanning the article and posting it to the list serve, but it was rejected as too big. Go to the link below and read the article. Regards to all, Allen
Hi Big Al! Quite enjoyed the article although I'm not sure if I remember hearing about UBC's theft, around the time. Trust all goes well. Off to ride to Oliver shortly so must away. Cheers, Patrizzio!
Greetings to all of you GBs: Yes, there is a boot hike tomorrow. A suggestion was made to visit the Eneas Mt, but this time from the W side. We will depart from the S'land IGA at 9:00, drive up Garnet Valley , past the dam, park at "the fence" and head uphill, straight E. Easy to moderate, slow and if we keep the volume level of the chit-chat down, we might see some wildlife. Approx. 3 hrs. Coffee at GO. Al
HI Patrick - I can't keep up with you guys! So much on the go. You're tiring me out! A friend of mine who is really into wine gave me some suggestions as to where to visit - i can send them to you, but you sound as if you already have a route planned! We're just clearing a path for the fence we're having installed - so nice we're finally having sunny weather, and not rain. Take care and see you soon. Luise
Hi Luise! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. Been pretty busy here but your fence building is tiring me out! Fondestos to you both from Lady Dar. Cheers, Patrizzio! PS: Send along the list of wineries as I'm curious to see which ones your friend likes.

Wednesday, March 30 Went out to Cromeleque dos Almendres, a 7000 year old megalithic site that is referred to as the Portuguese Stonehenge. It actually predates Stonehenge by some 2000 years. Came back to Evora and wandered around the town some more.
