Of People, Families, and friends

It never ceases to amaze me how different every person is. yet in all this confusion we call life, we cull out our friends from the herd, we adapt to our families, and manage the people around us.

Sitting in the backyard of Casa Finlay, listening to Jimmy Buffet, and sipping, nay drinking, a nice Claret, anticipating a bacon wrapped filet, I ponder the world. I whistle a jaunty tune. And I yearn for the buzz of the tents, the rush of the train, the scent of the sausage, and the spirit of Bavaria.

Peace to all and cheers!

BarleyMan,

You had me confused for a minute. I thought you were RodG with all those Touchy Feely reflections.

I'm glad to see though, that you were able to return to the true meaning of People, Families and Friends....

Pork Products !

Barleyman and Chugger,
It's good to know that people in moments of self reflection think of people. It's also good to know that during these moments they take good care of themselves. But I can't see the resamblance with pork products. Now that Barleyman and close family living so near to
the centre of Swine Flu region.

I hear that people from that region will be put in quarantine. Already in HongKong and planned in Muenchen. In Tents without pork products and for drinks only tamaflu is being served.

It's a vegetarian and Kosher alternative to make sure everything taste like Bacon... without risk of swine flu. Even Margaritas!
