I'm meeting Will Shakespeare at The Boar's Head for drinks this evening. Who wants to join us?

[Aristus]

"We shall be merry", as Will likes to say...

Hope to see you all there...

1. I'll try to check in after I return from masquerading as a chauffeur.

2. And not before?

Good thinking...

5. I'll be here all day.

I was walking around in my damp towel, trying to pick out something comfortable for the drive when my phone rang.

The trucking company also has several snow plowing contracts up there. The boss sent word for me to stay off the road today. Nice guy. Plus he wants me around to work with his drivers next year.
