Rider of The Purple Haze: Tuesday, July 18th!



Greetings Patrick, are you affected by the fires in BC? Hi Tiptoe! Not directly but Penticton and many other cities and towns in the Okanagan are blanketed with smoke from the fires further north. I just returned from a 51 km ride and I could feel the effects in my throat and mouth. Not as bad today as it had been a few days before I returned from Vancouver where I attended the Folk Fest. Do you know Marlon Williams, from New Zealand.? He's a string-bean like you and even many of his mannerisms reminded me of you. Phenomenal voice indeed. The Mae Trio, from Melbourne, were terrific as well. Must away as I have t have a shower and change for bridge tonight. We are hosting and Lady Dar just left for yoga so I'm charge of making a large salad for dinner and opening a bottle of Upper Bench Chaaaaaaaaaardooooonnnnay, as Dusty would say! Just a bit of practice for tomorrow as it is Lady Dar's 70th and I'm taking her to The Front Street Brasserie here in town for dinner. I'm hoping to take bottle of a remarkable Petite Sirah I just muled back from California, 2014 Mounts, Dry Creek, Sonoma, 15.5% on the Richter scale! Picked it up when Sarge and I were staying near Healdsburg, with Pat and David Coffaro, another fabulous winery, before we continued on to Tinsel Town for Alejandro's wedding. Pizza with the Coffaros. When are you coming to visit? Cheers, Patrizzio!
