Tally Ho!!!!

Right.....more self indulgence, but this time with a potentially positive side effect.

This post is dedicated to Nancy, Kenny and Thatcher.

Guys.....if you read this, try not to shed a tear as you listen to our collective harmonious warblings.

This stuff (below) was recorded on a hand held Walkman-style tape player, in mono, back in early 2001 at Thatcher's place. I think it was the day that Thatcher broke the news he had a job in Cleveland and me and Shaz announced we were heading back to Blighty for my Astrazeneca year. In other words.....no more vocal group.

Sorry for the quality but I just love this stuff.

More to the point, since we are all now back in Pittsburgh......WHEN ARE WE GETTING TOGETHER FOR A SING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????????????????????????????

Downhill

There hasn't been much opportunity to get out and enjoy the great outdoors lately thanks to temperatures and wind chills so low that it feels like you could quite easily lose an ear if you forget your woolly hat.

However, last weekend was bearable and we had a nice dump of snow in the city so we bought a sledge and, after some fun with the neighbours, headed for the slopes of Frick Park. Adam soon discovered that standing up is more fun than sitting down (I am biased but his sense of balance is amazing) and so he has now progressed to a snow board.

PS: To change the subject...check out this fantastic Will Hutton piece in the Guardian.

PPS: Since I am in "Guardian Mode"....check this one out too. Makes you think dunnit?
