Sorry to have missed you yesterday. I realize now that I made a tactical error by not checking my emails sooner: maybe you would have visited; dusted our house; vacuumed the floors and done the laundry? Another missed opportunity, I suppose. Whenever you’re in the neighbourhood, drop in.
we hope you had a good trip home from your Holiday in France. Finally the photos of the houseboatholiday of me are edited, and I can send you these.
This should be done by DVD because it is a large amount of data. Please mail me the postal address to which I should send the DVD. Very best regards to your wife send you Roland and Heike from Germany]
Also, please let me know when I could come over and drop off the ms. Natalia finishes work sometime between 2 and 3 and we could probably make it over there any day by around 3:30 p.m. Best, --KR
Hi Patrice,
Yumm, I am wishing I could have sampled some of the fare you have been enjoying or preparing!. Glad to hear you were able to get out on the bike between deluges.. the weather here has been positively disgusting although the good news is that it is finally starting to snow up in the Sunshine valley as well as the local mountains. We bought a family ski pass for Grouse mountain last year for this season and have not been able to use it to date. I am going to take the kids up today as it has been snowing heavily and the bonus of the pass is that we don't have to go for an entire day to feel that we have gotten our moneys worth, on the contrary we can go for only a few hours and feel good about it.
Having a lazy day so far but will go start to get ready for skiing. We look
forward to seeing you guys this weekend, although I was hoping to have had a
chance to brush up on my bridge skills!. Unfortunately we may have to pick
up where we left off with the coaching and abuse and I was previously
enduring to further bring me up to speed. Not sure if the boys are going to
come as Jesse's band is playing and he was talking about wanting to attend, we will advise later in the week. pics, Tomorroland wrap party, including : Teahan sisters, Director Brad Bird with Alan Waldron, Photo booth fun. Cheers, Al

Jean and John arrived around 3:30 pm with Benson and Tess.
Fabulous appetizers of Polish sausage and Le Brie D'Alexis, a double-créme our guests had brought from Victoria. We started with a 2012 Paul Mas Viognier, 13.5%, Jeannie Sue a 2012 Fetzer Shaly Loam Gewürtztraminer, 12.0% as she finds this is the only white which does not cause her to have an allergic reaction. We chatted, sipped and nibbled in front of the fire I'd laid while John unloaded their car and The Sisterhood arranged the pre-dinner delectables.
Dessert was even more decadent with Jeannie Sue's literal work of sculpted art chocolate, rose petal cake, (gluten-free to boot!), which went very nicely with The Macallan Whisky Maker's Edition, 42.8%, in front of the fireplace, watching Downton Abbey. Not a bad way to end a more than lovely time with close friends.
When I get the Disk I will copy and send it to you. Wayne
Happy new year to everyone. Feb 9th sounds great. Good to have the Basque musketeer join us. Facebook will also be on the order of discussion at upcoming meeting. Will Lawrence Hill have the great misfortune of joining the NRBC that evening? VL
Pat, thanks again for offering to host the great unread.
Please note: if you have not read the book you are expected to bring a bottle of rare single malt. I will invite Lawrence Hill to join us but it is unlikely unless he happens to be in Vancouver at that time. G
Thanks for the note and pics! Yvr was 1 and 1/2 hours delayed, but Seahawks won, so OK. Just in Toronto heading on time at 9:15AM for Nassau.Will send some pics..Hot tub can be done today or tomorrow...Cheers G&F
