'till all the room smelled of him!"

Will's way of saying not to bring dogs to fancy dinner parties...

Will's usual: dry sack.

Will says: "Pegeen, lass! Oceans of love! Did your sojourn to fair Italy please thee?"

The sojourn to fair Italy pleased me, but more pleasant was to come home!

Thank you for your good wishes...

Crazy hot here, mid 90's with high humidity. It is about 85 now half a hour after sunset. My jersey is pretty drenched with sweat. I am around mile 15, and tonight's libation is cold Dasani

I was hoping you'd show up!

Sorry you can't have a few cold ones with us.

I'm afraid my knowledge of Forth Worth is about three decades out of date...

Their brews sound interesting, but breweries are always somewhat hyperbolic describing their beers.

I don't really count the three or so versions of "Kiss Me, Kate" that I've seen.

is a pretty nice parlay. The original is playing at Ashland thru October; Petruchio as a rockabilly musician.

4 days, only 16 hours of actual running with my lights on. 100% success. The owners of the trucking company love having me around.

I love being here to share so many PMs with you.

http://wnyt.com/article/stories/s3097692.shtml I can't locate the film but you get the idea.
Although, I'm not at all thrilled about being misquoted.
If my car's AC gets fixed today (or tomorrow) I'll be a happy camper next week, when we do it again.

I guess that DU will just have to imagine a totally dripping wet wilted ITW.
Too hot for anything but TV. I even tried to find footage on youtube.

I'm too stubborn to give up when troubles make life difficult.

The company we are working for now is owned by two wonderful brothers. Some of the drivers have been there for a quarter of a century. Everyone works hard. Everyone is treated like family.
Some old time heavy haul drivers resent having an escort. Last night I told the one who was bragging about how many escorts he fired on one run out west ... I'm only here because the law requires us. The owner kept telling me what a great job I was doing. We only had two private escorts last night, everyone else was a company employee. I work per diem.

They only included ten seconds of you and Jeff but you managed to be informative despite their editing. Good job.

Not bad considering the circumstances.

The morning delay also caused another delay ... shutdown for an afternoon curfew. We spent more time waiting than we did driving. Never a dull moment.
