and supposedly it's on it's way here.  between the pizza from the baker and all the sweaty socks, I may have to send it out for fumigation!  I only hope nobody confiscated that educational DVD I picked up on Ste. Catherine...

So I guess one of those strippers we passed by on Monday night is not in there either?

My suitcase got here 45 minutes ago.  Everything was there, even the DVD (!) The pizza smelled good but a close inspection revealed the beginnings of mold...

But the most amazing thing was, every piece of clothing smelled like the hotel room! Clean, fresh, a bit of citrus...it brought back so many things.  Of course, most of it is in the washer now, but some things, like my jacket, can't be washed.  I wonder how long before the scent fades...whatever the case, it will be long before the memories fade, and I suspect that will be never.

Love to you all,
Creighton

you got CITRUS? Hell, my stuff all smelled like ancient smoke :)

I am glad your stuff arrived, safe and sound.

Hey Creighton,

You smelled just fine to me!  ;)

I had better clarify this to add "when we hugged."  ;D ;)

Glad the educational video was intact. Don't forget to share with your AMG brothers!  ::)

As for the strippers, well, I wanted to pack one myself (the redhead), but customs told me "NO PETS."

DRAT!

HUGS,

Mark

I got caught with a small tube of toothpaste in customs. I also tried to sneak my tiny lighter in my cig pack and the bells and alarms went off. Oh well still had a great time.

Creighton, how is that right shoulder doing?   Still a little sore?   It's going to look GREAT when it is all healed up.

You are such a sweetie.  If I was just 10 years younger......ok, 15.....hell, 20 and that's my FINAL offer !

Right shoulder is still a little sore, definitely tender!  I'll share pics, maybe in an avatar, when it's a little less...textured, shall we say?

And what's this rubbish about being younger?!!  I'm shy; all you have to do is make the first move...but then that statement will certainly give me a reputation!
