Thanks for more wonderful hospitality! Much appreciated.
Cora Lee arrived safely, collected at LAX by The Lost Burritos. Pierre is sleeping, Alejandro watching basketball, Corinne reading by the pool and the Drill Sarge is fussing because, against her better judgement, she has given me a two hour pass to go for a ride, as most of my scullionage has been discharged. Happy Thanksgiving. Will read your grace when all 20 of us sit down to our feast. See you soon! Cheers, Rizzzzzzzzzzzzoooooo!

- Patrick James Dunn Time to start drinking for 300! 300 km, that is, over last three days! Coffaro will be on the wine list! Happy Thanksgiving to all my American relatives and friends!
- Ayn P On my way
- Patrick James Dunn Oops! Too much hootch already! Meant to say "Coffaro will be on the wine list as well!" Time to start scullioning before the Drill Chef breezes into town and starts barking out orders. Must away as I've to start on the "300" I know she will be handing out shortly, in addition to the toothbrush to scrub out all the pots and pans she will be using, a la "Use Every Utensil in the Kitchen, and Pile Them in the Sink" Cora Lee! Canadian Thanksgiving in Chabeuil this past October. Table setting by Corinne Martha Stewart Durston, wine by Patrizzio

sorry to bother you, as I know you are on your holiday, and please
feel free to respond after you've returned from your vacation. I just
wanted to ask for some advice and help in getting a head start on my
librarian studies which commence in January 2014.
Generally, anything I would be wise to start reading up on or
trying to learn now? Like what kind of software/programs are used on a
day-to-day basis by librarians? What are the daily tasks? What does it
entail to be a librarian nowadays as far as the
daily work?
Also, more importantly, do you know of any work or volunteer
possibilities at any Vancouver/Richmond libraries where I could start
cutting my teeth on working? Anybody I could get in touch with?
Finally, any general advice going forward as far as school and my
career in the field? What do you guys think is the future of the
profession given recent technological advancements?
Thank you again, any help is appreciated. Hopefully you're having a great time and see you soon.Take care,
VL

thank- you for your email, as always you are leading a busy and interesting life!
Ron and I are presently on a bus from Letterkenny, Ireland, heading south to Dublin.
In Letterkenny, we visited a doctor friend that Ron worked with in Lesotho, 28 yrs ago. he is still working like a mad man, 8:30ish to 9 pm ish, crazy! His wife is great, a devout Catholic. They have 6 kids who range between 21 - 31 yrs old. We borrowed their car Erragan Mt, but it was too mucky. We then went to visit a castle nearby and walked the 4 km to the castle and hiked the surrounding hills.
Where are my folks? |
Sam and Kayla are 2nd yr medicine and working all the time. We wanted to visit them to check out their life. We stayed downtown Dublin and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. As always our trip was too short, 8 days, but what can I say, ron said he couldn't take more time off work, not true! C'est la vie!
I am planning to be in Van in late February, are you around? I would love to go on a bike ride. Say hi to Corrine ! Love Rhoda
Takagaki Toshiko Hi, Patrick! Great hear your humorous talk!! I miss that a lot! I'm not going to move San Diego anymore, but who knows that I might join you guys next year!! I'd love to see you all, big Pierre and Alex as well. Will you be in North America next July? My mom says hello to you(^^)
- Christina Tassell Where will you all sit?
- Ayn P My cousin's table was able to fit everyone!I just talked it over with Nancy. She has her art class then, and it's my normal swim time (i.e., many seals will be awaiting fish tossed their way from my hands). Since the show IS in town til Jan. 20, why don't you take it in by yourself and we'll go over on our own sometime when it works for us. That way you won't be impeded by my turtle's pace viewing a museum show....
While I am devastated not to have your turtle company at the Hockney exhibition I understand that you other commitments are far more important than spending time with your favourite Canadian visitor. Not to worry, I will note this in my little black book and keep it ready when the time is ripe for revenge! I think you might need to revisit your travel plans for north of the 49th parallel!
No big deal, of course. I'll make my way to the de Young unaccompanied and un-aided by local knowledge but who cares if I make a wrong turn while Naughty Nancy is daubing canvas and Cactoosian is feeding the slippery seals!
I am stopping at Macy's at 9:05 am to take advantage of a sale and then blasting north to the inhospitality of Villa Vicente. At least Boris and Natasha are more than welcoming, sharing the same sort of rejection, I am sure, I have been subjected to.
Alejandro came by for dinner and just left for work, Buffalo Wild Wings Sports Bar, beautiful downtown Burbank, waiting on tables, raking in the tips, and Xavierino is about to arrive for nosh before he has to leave for Sound, his regular security gig. All is well although my heart is heavy. Northern Californians are so superficial. You think that they are friends and then they stab you in the back, chortling as they walk away! E Tu Brute? Nonetheless, Fondestos and Cheers, Patrizzio, Wounded Knee/Heart Dunn!
