Hi ho, MMMLogerinos!

The DH is still doing his annual Midnight Ride of Paul Revere sharing. This time spreading the word via the internet. I haven't received mine yet because my email down. But I'm sure he will treat me to a spirited rendition this evening. Remember, when we lived in England he used to ride through the halls at British Airways sharing the verse. Oh. My. And I will repeat--yes, we did have English friends despite his willingness to celebrate his ancestor's famous ride. Speaking of our time in England, we were often the only Americans in a group of Brits. Once we were invited to an informal cocktail party and the DH was determined to wear his favorite Tony Lama boots. As we were being introduced around, a disdainful walrusy fellow asked the DH what part of Texas he was from (the western boots, ya know.) DH replied, "Nevada", turned on his boot heel and left the fellow in his disgusted dust. Don't misunderstand. The DH is not the proverbial ugly American. He's a student of history, a tall repository of miscellany, a natural teacher. He's respectful of other cultures and wants to learn about them. He just expects others to have the same respect and interest enough to at least try to get it right. It's all good and I learn a lot. Wheeeeeee.

Ciao, ciao, Mmmmmmmelinda
