Follow Ups

A couple of quick follow-ups to recent posts.

First, my guitar playing. I forgot to mention that the guitar I am using once belonged to my bother-in-law John. My mother-in-law gave it to me when we were visiting about a month ago. I'm honored to have it, and I will not only work hard to get good at it, but I will not stain its memory by doing bad Pete Townsend "windmill" impersonations with it.

Second, with all this Canada/Hockey talk lately, I was thrilled to come across this quiz, "Don Cherry Outfit or Clown Costume?" The quiz shows a series of suits that might be clown costumes, or might be actual outfits work by Don Cherry. For those of you who don't know who Don Cherry is, he's former pro hockey player and coach (for the Boston Bruins), who now does TV commentary for ESPN and in his beloved Canada. He is often called both "flambouyant" and "patriotic." These pictures give you a sense of both his Canadian pride, and justification for a quiz that confuses him with a clown:

One last thing:

Chuck and Jon, sorry we missed you. Hope everything is OK.
