I'll be there in spirit, John -
And hopefully in the flesh as well. Should I bring you another bottle of K. B. Hall's
Old Number 500 Industrial Strength Red Table Wine* to help you enjoy the later part of the trip as the sweet aroma of coal smoke emanating from #484's stack enhances the evening? Happy to do so, as your beyond-the-call-of-duty putting up with Roosso all these years certainly deserves compensation of the finest sort!!
