Ken, it looks like it's you or me who is King of the Old Farts. I just turned 30 for the 37th time. How does that compare to you?

It's as easy as falling off your hammock, John. You are a full member of the "Old Farts Club". Welcome aboard (until you fall asleep and hit the ground again)!

Cheers to you too, John!

My favorite haunts are in Edinburgh, when I get the chance to visit. If you are a Glaswegian, you have a little rivalry going with Edinburgh, don't you? LOL!!!

Sadly, all of our time will be in the London/Kent/Sussex/Surrey/Hampshire area of England this time. We will be planning another trip to the north of England (Cumbria/Northumberland that will, of course, include Scotland - but that will not be until 2013. You guys charge we poor Americans an arm and a leg over there, don't ya know. The exchange rate is the best it has been in about a decade, and it STILL takes 1.5 US dollars to get one pound!

We have friends in Embra, so we'll have to check in with them during the 2013 trip. Perhaps if we're all still alive then, we could have a pint together, John!
