Ni Hau Michael!

-> 
-> Note to others. Although I might agree with Hap's
-> order of preference, I must add that there is no
-> similarity in aroma between Johnny Walker rubber tire
-> red lable and acetone nail polish.
-> 
I don't know that I would say NO similarity...and
the greatest similarity is in the taste not the smell (grin)

->  -> Bear tastes sort of like possum, which tastes sort

->  HN> Bear tastes like bear...and if it's a 
->  HN> spring bear (here in Washington) it
->  HN> sort of tastes like pinesol! (grin). 
-> 
-> Sad fact: spruce tips are being used by some avant-garde
-> cooks as a flavoring agent.
-> 
Ok...that almost grosses me out!

->  HN> Autumn bears are a much better
->  HN> taste...they get up in the hills 
->  HN> and gorge on the huckleberries and
->  HN> wild salmonberries and such. A

-> 
-> I was going to say, if you're berry lucky, bear tastes
-> better.
-> 
Specially if it's battered and buttered!

->  HN> Did we ever get you to the
->  HN> McCleary Bear Festival on any

-> 
-> Nope, another sad fact.

It's held the second week in July
every year...Annie and I used to go
every year but it's been MANY years
since we've been.
Bear stew is goooood!

->  HN> I WANT to taste kangaroo!!
-> 
-> I've seen it available in my grocery's frozen section
-> on occasion.
->
I never have ....but I did find a link
from Clean Dave's blog to a site where
I can get pickled turkey gizzards!

-> 
-> Maybe turn him into a long reliever?
->
If he's on you might as well get the 
first five innings from him, not sure that
he's suited for quick warm ups and coming
in for long relief. Who knows, he may turn
out well for you guys...Lord knows he was
a bust for us!

-> 
-> The Sox are still tied at the top, no thanks to you.
-> How on earth could you do this?
->
Out of the 9 players on the field against
the Sox...only the pitcher, catcher, and 
rightfielder (Ichiro) were on the roster
on starting day. We are not the same
team that started the season. We still
have a LOT of work to do with all the 
new young players that have come up
but the new talent is eager to prove
that they are worthy of being on the 
big league club.

-> 
-> We've got not only the beginning of the Little League World
-> Series this week (no beer) but the Williamsport Crosscutters
-> - alumni include Jose Bautista and Booger Morgan - are hosting
-> the (Class A) NY-PA League defending champs Tri-City Valley
-> Cats, with half-price beer on Thursday and Friday, when it's
-> supposed to rain. It's a close race in the Pinckney Division,
-> with the Crosscutters tied for second with the Mahoning Valley
-> Scrappers behind the Auburn Doubledays (get it?).
->
Ahhhh baseball is a grand sport at every
level!
 
-> I was playing hooky from Annie and Billy last week (Billy's
-> looking pretty good), otherwise I could have seen the Batavia
-> Muckdogs - a great team name.
->
Glad he's looking better, hope it continues!
Anne is doing above average. The cumulative
effects of the chemo are catching up a wee 
bit and her blood numbers are starting to drop
but I'm doing my best to keep her healthy and
strong. 
Chat with you soon!
