To freely bloom - that is my definition of success. -Gerry Spence, lawyer (b. 1929)

Patrizzzziooo, Have a trip of a life-time! Paddle your heart out 🚲🚲😎💕 I will miss you. Cheers, Your Aarturo Hi Aarturo! Thanks for the good wishes, water sports man. I'll think of you as I'm "paddling" along the rivers of Moravia and in Poland. Fortunately, my bike has a good set of pontoons! Take care of yourself and my fabulous bridge partner, Josinta, until next our paths cross. All the best and Cheers, Patrizzio! Have a blast and stay safe Patrick. See you in July.
Pamela Looking cool, and ready Patrick 😎

Good Evening Bridge Friends! Thanks to all of you who sent me well wishes for my coming trip. Much appreciated BUT I would have appreciated CASH even more! Must away as my glass is empty and I have a tremendous thirst for some Single Malt! Cheers, Patrizzio! Pics: My rear wheel, pannier holder, as carry-on! Arrivederci Lady! Hi Bridge friends, Sorry to have missed you at Bridge and seeing Patrizzio off as he goes travelling the world again. Sooo jealous!! Have a great safe trip with many adventures. I am slowly feeling better and hope to play next week. Thanks for hosting Corrine. Patrizzio thanks for the pics that you always send us. Take care all. Hugs, Olly

Hi Patrick I have been reading all your emails, but I must have missed some important details! Where are you going and when? I thought you were awaiting shoulder surgery and now you’re going away for 3 months? Wow. Good for you! Safe travels. Will be waiting to hear all about it. Hi to Corrine and Chloë Good luck 😘🤗. BPs still no baby news. Samantha is 39 plus weeks. And getting bigger every day!!! 😉 

Hi Barbarella! My shoulder surgery, (complete right shoulder replacement), is scheduled for July 26th. I will be flying to Paris on Monday, April 16th. [Lady Dar, as I believe you know, is a recently minted Marriage Officiant, and must needs stay home to marry people!] Must away as my glass is empty and I have a tremendous thirst for some Single Malt! Cheers, Patrizzio! Pics: Arrivederci Lady Dar. Saying goodbye to Etta and Duke!
