Will be travelling in a couple of weeks to France to catch up with Catherine, who is in Europe (mostly Ireland) - while thinking of you, it was more in the "What are the Faines doing now, and how can we do it in 1,000 times more comfort?" type of thing. Mandy and I doing a bicycle tour in Loirre valley - visit winery, ride 10 ks to sober up, visit winery, ride 10 ks etc. See you at hockey next year! Cheers, Richard Happy birthday Jon - Gedday Jack.
