Robo Man Iona Blues: Friday, December 19th!

And the evil is done in hopes that evil surrenders / But the deeds of the devil are burned too deep in the embers / And a world of hunger in vengeance will always remember. -Phil Ochs, folksinger (1940-1976) 


Hi Sylvia and Raymond! Thanks for lovely card! I certainly identify with "late" choir boy! And thanks for call this morning. I suggest you take a look at your bike!) Cheers for now and look forward to seeing you both, (As well as any children who might like to join their parents!), on Tuesday at 2:01 pm! Patrizzio!

Marvin Angelo Mercado Kitkat thinks the presents are all for her #catlove #christmas
Conductore, Merry Christmas to you and yours. On another note I have an interview on Monday with the RCMP to get Security Clearance to work on RCMP building projects. I have to give them two friends as references who have known me for than three years. May i use you? If so, i need your mailing address and best contact information. All the best. Charlie
 
Hello Carlos the Jackal! I'm happy to act as a reference for you BUT do you really think you'll obtain clearance given your moniker!

Just back from a jaunt out to Iona with Robo Man. Really enjoyed beating the rain, for the most part! Just a bit of drizzle near Stink lsland although head wind was pretty fierce when heading east! I blame that for my fairly lacklustre AVG. Managed to dipsy-doodle my way to 77 km after leaving Raymondo at Pine Crescent and heading out to UBC and then home. I rinsed off my bike once back as I was quite flabbergasted to see the amount of grit that I had picked up. Stats for ride:

Best Wishes to you and your wife for a Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year. Cheers, Il Conduttore!

Pics: Frosty the Cyclist en route to Whistler and support vehicle! I think both snaps will help with your interview!


Pat, Thanks for the reference. Glad to hear you are still working on your stats.
Best of the Season to you and yours and a Happy 2015. cheers, Charlie 


Hi again, Carlos! Friend Sarge, (Superintendent, actually, but I like to keep him in place!), was just upstairs and he said anyone who rides with me is highly unlikely to receive clearance so Buona Fortuna! Be great if we can arrange a ride when the Galiano Gadfly is in town, sometime in early 2015. All the best and Cheers, Il Conduttore! Pic: Plymouth, Amador County, Ca., probably one of the last times Whirlygig has been riding! 

Pat, Didn't feel particularly wet by the time I got home and a bowl of home made went down very well and warmed me through completely. Thanks for the company. Looks wet for a few days. Ray 

Hi Raymond! For my part I had a steaming mug of java with a large slice of the loaf that Ruth, (from Squamish), had given us. Delish!

Just back from running an errand to liquor store. One just east of Arbutus on Broadway. Good time to go as fairly quiet. Had to stop at Shopper's on way home as Clara seems to have developed an infected upper gum. Corinne phoned our dentist and was able to reach someone on emergency call. Very helpful chap and he prescribed some antibiotics. He''ll see her early Monday morning. Poor Clara. Worst time to have dental problems. However, just grateful that her condition seems to be under control, as best as is possible, given circumstances.

I wanted to look at neighbourhood where you mentioned Jenny lives but cannot remember name of tube station! When you have a moment I'd be curious to see where it is in relation to Mill Hill Broadway. Glad we had such a  good ride today as looks like it will be gym time for next few days! Cheers, Patrizzio!

Hi Glasgow! Just a quick note to wish you and Catherine and Girls Bon Voyage! Travel safely and have a wonderful time. Drink plenty of rum! Last night we went to a rollicking singalong at Heartwood. Since it is LGBTQ friendly, some of carols and one singer reflected this!

One again, Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year! Loads of rides together in 2015 I trust. (Did you buy a new bike?) Fondestos from Cora lee to you both. Cheers, Patrizzio! Pics: Power Point so audience could sing along more easily. Marie Toillete! He/She had a great voice!

Hi Kids! Just a quick note to wish Jane Bon Voyage! Travel safely and have a wonderful time. Must away as we are packing hampers tomorrow for Aunt Leah's. In New West and have to be there by 9:00 am. Afterwards, Chloë and Cora Lee will head down to Bellingham to collect Ayn and Los Horridos. Beforehand they will stop at the home of the grandmother of one of one of Chloë's closest friends to pick up 9 bottles from the four cases of hootch I've stashed there. Hope to collect rest when we head down to Palm Desert in February. Once again, Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year, Jane. Fondestos from Cora Lee to you both. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Sunday January 11 at 4pm for the Golden Globes potluck viewing at the Whitney's. It seems to get earlier each year - probably pressure to be "first out of the gate". We can assess who brings what when we get an idea of how many will be attending so let me know if you are free and up for it. I've cc'd Anil on the off chance he may be scheduled for a break from summer in the land of LOR. If we don't see you in the interim, happy holidays everyone......Paul & Joan 

Hi Paul and Joan! Thanks for the lovely invitation. Unfortunately, both of us have prior commitments. Cora Lee has a congregational meeting and my book club is meeting early that evening. Cheers, Patrizzio!

Holiday Greetings Joan and Paul! Trust you are both well. All the best to you both for a Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year! Cheers, Corinne, Chloë and Patrizzio!
