Hey boys:
Margo and I finally got home today at around 5:45pm If you remember, we were supposed to fly out on Sunday from Louisville. Unfortunately, due to ice and snow in Chicago we were cancelled. We had to spend another night at the LaQuinta and flew out today to Dallas then from Dallas to Toronto. Never been to Texas...kinda flat from what I could see but still a hell of a lot warmer than home. Anyway, it is good to be home finally. I will post some pics eventually. I am due to take a bus load of school kids to ski at Mont Tremblant in Quebec on Thursday of this week!! I really wish I could stay home. I love to ski but this SOS trip has done me in. Nice to finally meet you Mark. The Colberg helme was found. The German gentleman with all of the gorgeous helmets told me on Sunday that he plans to come back to the SOS next year! Apparently, things did not turn out so badly for him after all. Those Gus Taters, sandwiches and chocolate chip cookies were excellent. Thanks Mags and Gus! Peter it was great to spend some time with you as well Thanks for the lesson on what to watch out for when buying pith helmets. Congrats on the "grail piece" that you bought!
Slim, what can I say, you are a true gentleman and you are very lucky in that lovely wife of yours! The Show was great even though the prices of Hauben was nuts! Pauly boy, you missed a good one but you will be with us next year! All the best, Brian
