The Eagle & the Prodigal

Two things have happened in the last few days, both of which have led toward the further enrichment of life & times. The first incident occured last Friday night when the Prodigal Son KM was on the phone from the land of opportunity. His eagerness in wanting to speak with me from thousands of miles away was justified because he had some news to share. The news was that he has managed to purchase a copy of Risk. Risk, for those who have played it (with passion) will know the kind of emotions it brings to the surface, the levels of deceit it brings out in people you least expect it from & the thrilling moments of invincibility when the dice are rolling in your favour. So KM has gone a long way in lighting up our evenings.

The second incident was when the (self proclaimed) Eagle landed, again from the land of opportunity but via the old colonial master. The Eagle once again delivered and how. He picked up a bottle of Pimm's. Now, for the uninitiated Pimm's tastes like a cup of chilled, tropical heaven. One part Pimm's, 3 parts lemonade with club soda & lots of ice. Simply Divine.

This weekend might well see a combination of Pimm's & Risk! Smacks of danger, that...
