Ragin' Bull Blues: Saturday, September 12th!

The most radical revolutionary will become a conservative the day after the revolution. -Hannah Arendt, historian and philosopher (1906-1975)

David KesslerIf it can happen in Britain, it can happen here. Writing Bernie Sanders off as Quixotic might be quite premature. Maybe a surprise like we saw in tennis at the U.S. Open can happen in American electoral politics!

Patrick James Dunn It will happen in Canada as well, if the South Okanagan-West Kootenay riding NDP campaign has any say in the matter! 

Hi Elaine: Trust all is going well with your trip. Just a quick note to pass along Penny's latest reply: "Thanks so much to Elaine for her kind offer but we are looking forward to staying at the hotel - maybe next time?"

At any rate, we were wondering if you and Theodorakis would like to join us, on Saturday, October 17th, for the Aunt Leah's Trivia Night! We have purchased a table, (You would be our guests.), and would be delighted if you could join us, along with Flamin' and Sarge and a number of other friends. Anyway, let me know, if you have a free minute, given your  crammed days, I'm sure. Travel safely. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Must away as we are off to a vertical Port tasting at Black Widow shortly. Great way to start Saturday morning, knocking back fortified spirits at 10:00 am! Then the Tailgate Party at Red Rooster this evening, with Ragin' Bull. Not sure how much shelving we'll manage on Sunday! 

Hi again, Olgster! Just back from the Market where we had a nice chat with Jake/Dave Synder. He has invited us to join Virginia and himself, next Sunday, to go to the Rock Creek Fair. Should be fun and will give us a chance to chat en route and back.


Had a very interesting evening at the Richard Canning's-NDP Campaign Kick-off last night. Jim French was there and I introduced him to Cora Lee and his wife, (I'd not met her before either.), attend the Oasis United Church as Corinne is interested in this congregation as well. Lovely setting at Linden Gardens so venue was wonderful. Cheers, Patrizzio!
