Drinking with the Fishes
Llywelyn Graeme made a pilgrimage (his words, not mine) to Louisville from Beijing, China to claim his grand prize from last fall's pledge drive: A night out at Tribe hangouts Clifton's Pizza and the Irish Rover with ElJefe (aka Skip Peters) and ElMacho (aka Dave Jablonski).
Llywelyn is a government employee and he came equipped with an envelope full of foreign money which of course impressed the shit out of us civilians. (Some of this stuff, such as the Chinese currency, literally wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. He gave us a 250-dinar note from Iraq, with Sadaam Hussein's picture on it. Worth 17 cents, but endless amusement.)
The amount of knowledge about various and sundry obscure political and geographical facts presented at the table (by all participants) was truly mind-boggling. Example: Did you know that the capital of Lesotho is Maseru? I sure as hell did not. Someone said "Lesotho" and I thought we were talking about Superman villains. It's amazing what human beings can learn when regimented and outdated school systems aren't trying to force dusty, crappy encyclopedias down their throats.

I actually suggested to John we take the party to PT's, just to stalk you - I mean, bring the party to you. I suspect he thought I was joking.
Are we ever going to see you again in the outdoors?
