No, it's my wistful recollection of the 70's in North Lancashire
It might not necessarily reflect reality, but that's what it felt like.

It's something that happens to us all eventually
Did you get to DC and, more importantly, are you in a more positive frame of mind than last time you and I were on here?

nope. There's a knick in my tire and it's likely it would've blown if I'd driven it.
But I DID play softball and I bought a new glove.

There's good and bad there
Softball good.

Glove - singular - isn't it usually better to buy two?

What sort of glove?

A softball glove, doofus.

Now I understand.
So actually all good then.

Yes, thank you.
How was your weekend?
Are you hoping for a trip over soon? You had to cancel the last one, right?

Not easy now
Which is pissing me off a bit.

I'm hoping to get to the Shenandoah in 2014.

I've just bought a load of Civil War books second hand and was reading about the battle at Front Royal.

You'd know more about it than I do!
My parents bought a travelling book and we were listed, they said we were an ugly town full of fast food joints.

Front Royal
Was a defensive skirmish - or squirmish as Sarah Palin would call it.

You still live on a battlefield though.
