By then maybe they'll let ya bring your lovely wife and she can keep my
little lady occupied while I show you the Gulf Coast and all of the local beer
joints.

I must warn ya though... we have this one place that you are required to kiss
a moose and put a dollar with your name on it and tack it to the wall as
proof that you were there. I'll PROMISE not to take a picture so the rest of the
List can see you kissing a moose. 8)))))

Just to let you know its not a 2 legged moose either but I'm sure some will
be present if you get the urge!! 8)

I'm ashamed to say that my dollar is somewhere on the wall with I think over
150,000 others that have all been signed as proof of moose kissing. Thank God
no one had a camera when I did mine.......it had something to do with Long
Island Iced Teas of which I've never touched since.

I'm such a lightweight when it comes to drinking so now I'm a stick to beer
lad and even that sometimes makes the moose look cute. 8)

Take care sir,

Ray
