# Just found my Dads scrap book and had to share...
I had heard he had something to do with

# Kind of...
..Continuing the blood line, me being the son and all.

I changed my name (family politics - My mother is a complete and utter bitch). My Dad understood, and as Shakespeare said -
A rose by any other name would still smell as sweet - it's the blood and heart that counts, and not the title.

I'm drinking a toast of caixhaca to him right now

# Oh, Baz
Try not to be so restrained. You'll get an ulcer. Something that could be diagnosed with an endoscope...

Incidentally, can I thank HK's dad for letting me see the inside of my stomach? It wasn't as interesting as I thought it might be, but that's hardly Fred's fault.
