Oh, my stars and garters! A most radiant felicitation to you both! Lady G doffs her feathered hat and curtsies deeply before such a distinguished and enduring union.– The Dowager Lady G We celebrate our 42nd with a delightful telegram from Elder Dowager Lady G. The WLBOTT Celebration
Had two good gigs yesterday in Consort and Hanna. These are not necessarily cowboy towns, more like farmer towns. The biggest industry in each is John Deere. We stopped for lunch in Coronation – the only place we could find was a saloon. Good food but definitely a rowdy place on Friday nights, I’m sure. […]

The opportunity, the temptation, was too great. We convinced a senior Elder to moon the plant. A drive-by mooning. A harmless act of civil […]

Ask them what they thought was the meaning of life, and compile the answers. There’s more to James’ backstory, which you can read […]
