Hey, nice to see you're still blogging from time to time. I just caught up a bit. Say "hi" to Jo, and have a good brown ale for me.
Ack! You come to read about my time in the UK, and I'm posting about Evel Kneivel. Sorry. I promise to have a story up about Edinburgh soon(ish). :)
And yes, I shall have a good brown ale for you! There's a nice one called Black Sheep served 'round these parts; rumour has it it was created by the son of a family of vicars who dropped out of seminary and started brewing beer instead.
Must've been Trappist vicars. :)
