Trust all gores well with you busy household. Sorry I've not sent anything along sooner. No excuses but plenty of reasons!!! A any rate, the text of what I'd like to have on the inside of the program is attached. I assume you can make it fir by adjusting font size, etc. On the outside, I'd like a number of pictures. A number are included but I don't think they will be used. Have sent them along as examples, so we can play with layout, etc. I will have more that will need to be scanned first. I assume that you will be able to do that. Once we have both sides to a certain stage, I think that will end your "responsibility" as I know you are probably even busier getting ready to fly to Cuba!
Again, I apologize for the "squeeze". However, I don't think it will take all that much time, given your incredible expertise and facility with Photoshop and the like. If possible, given her busy schedule, I'd like Cora Lee along to say "yea" or "nay" about some of the design elements, pictures, etc. I know the two of you have the "eye" for such things. While I might insist on one picture over another, per esempio, I am more than happy to let you two make the final editing decisions.
So let me know what you think and we'll plan accordingly. I'll be at home most of tomorrow so you can give me a shout or send along an email. Almost forgot, Lurchesca is here for the night and sends along greetings to you and your Hareem!!! We enjoyed a 2004 Grange from Grogg's cellar on Tuesday. Lives of the Rich and Famous!!! Cheers, Patrizzio!
Hi Pat,
Information
received. I don't shove off until Tuesday, first thing, so there is
ample time to complete this project. A couple of quick questions - are
we looking at a standard 8 1/2x 11 inch page,
folded in half, or did you want to do 11x17, folded? Not that it
matters but I thought in order to start… Also, did you want to put in an
order of service in here? Any prayers, hymns, elegies, pronouncements,
etc?
-A.
I'll get cracking. And please give my love to Francesca - we
received her anniversary message just as they were steeping on the plane
to France, and their post card from the Eiffel Tower.
Hi Pat,
To
start, I just dropped the text you wrote into an letter-sized page,
figuring you would be able to fold it in half. Obviously on the inside
left and on the back of the folded page there is
nothing, yet. Let me know what you think about the way the copy you
wrote is set . I wonder if it might be a bit dense for one-half of a
page - perhaps we should consider a larger page or go for the copy on
the entire inside of the page? At any rate, let me
know what you think and we can discuss tomorrow. I'm shooting all day
but it's a pretty relaxed gig so we can discuss.
-A.
Mark has chosen
Thinking, Fast and Slow, by Daniel
Kahneman to follow David Adams Richards' River of the Broken Hearted (Pat).
The date of the next gathering will be the evening of Sunday, 28 October, at the Islay Inn.
Misha,
Pat has a copy of the next book – he has finished it. Please contact him. G
Thanks George.
Pat please let me know if I can borrow it and when.
Grazie. Misha
As many of you know, I have been training to walk the Camino de
Santiago in Spain. Several people have indicated an interest in
following the walk with me. Some suggested a blog, but I have no idea
how to set that up, so I have settled for public postings
on Facebook. That way, you don't have to "friend" me, although you may
still have to create an account. I am not sure about that part.
Anyway, I thought that I would let you know what I am up to. If
you don't want to follow my progress, I totally understand. No need to
reply to this email either, as I know that you are all busy people.
Please feel free to pass this on to anyone who
you think might be interested.
I am flying out to Paris this evening, then taking the train
tomorrow to St Jean Pied de Port in the foothills of the Pyrenees. I
start the actual walk on Sunday. Please see what you can do about
arranging sunshine for me.
I will be in touch!! Best, Ann
Hi Patricio, et al.
Yes I would have to say that is a very impressive ride as well and congratulations! Clearly there is nothing standing in you way now of partaking in the Gran Fondo or better yet bring on the tour de France!
As for myself, I recently did a ride on two wheels but of the motorized kind.
I went down to Anacortes last weekend on a motorcycle trip (see
pics.)as there is an annual event that takes place down there called the
Oyster run. I went down with our friend and Jacob’s soccer coach Ivan
and a few of his friends We rented a house
for a couple of nights and rode down Friday night and perused the town
of Anacortes and it’s bars and then Saturday rode down to the the bottom
of Whidbey Island . We arrived back and did more perusing of the town
where they were gearing up for the big event
on Sunday, there were band stands and beer gardens and many people
cruising around on bikes as well as custom cars etc.
Sunday Morning nursing a bit of a hangover we went down to La
Conner for brunch ,the weather was beautiful and the scenery was
fantastic as we cruised along beside rolling hills and pastures skirting
the mountains of Fidalgo island. We then rode back to
Anacortes where the Oyster run was now in full swing with hundreds and
hundreds of bikes coming into town. They park them all in four rows down
the center of Commercial st. which is the main drag downtown. At it’s
height around two o clock there had to be
no less than ten thousand bikes parked and or cruising around the town .
Interestingly this event started in 1981 with a group on nine guys
going out for the last run of the year and over the years has just
grown exponentially to what it is.
It was fun cruising around in a pack and I felt like something out
of Rebel with out a cause as we cruised around with little or no muffled
exhaust and terrified the locals in Anacortes and up into Bellingham I
got a real chuckle out of cruising by and
seeing kids covering their ears and cowering in fear as we passed by! For the record, I averaged 140 km/hour over 3.33 hours each way as well as killing 213 bugs and 5,304,333.00 brain cells!
- Patrick James Dunn And to think that Nicole Marie didn't even know what Pinot Noir was or that you even existed but a few years ago! Congratulations again. Cheers, Patrizzio!
