Aye, thah Juuuurah!

Heck - The darned Orygone Pinot's can hold their own against any of
the mid-bodied reds Cali than throw down! Glad they're cheap where I
live, too! :-D

Hey William,

Are you going to play in RSG Ohio (Sept 10-12)? Or at least meet us
for dinner?

I would love too, but OSU plays Miami at home on the 11th, and with a
daughter in TBDBITL, it would be more than my life is worth. The next
day I leave for a conference. Ask me next year, and I'll give you OSU's
home schedule BEFORE you set the dates :-)

Well, I applaud you on your choice of priorities. Of course, you
could still join us for Friday....... I'm just sayin'.

And, it's not my event so I don't choose the dates. :-p

Unfortunately not - we had a HCP issue then IIRC.

But believe me, there were lots of other stunning courses around, starting
with Fortrose & Rosemarkie...
We saved one of the best for the last day, when our landlord suggested
Aberfoyle, not too far from Glasgow, in or close to a national park. What a
stunning mountain scenery, what a course and what a play by my son!

Dreaming...
