My buddy Don says I'm losing my edge....


S'troo...scotch seems to mellow me...and boy, am I maa-woe!  WHAT?  I'm not an angry person...I'm an internationally famous....uh......uh...what am I again?  Right!...train rider!  Well today almost put me off trains completely...as I told you (when you weren't listening), we went from Da Nang to Hue by train...and Lonely Planet say's "the best train ride in Vietnam"...here's the thing....I want you to curl up in the fetal position in the sauna closest to you...now, throw garbage all around...oh, and spit on yourself...now place some feces close by...are you getting the picture?  Now turn up the saturation...alot! Wait 2.5 hours in that position....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait...Vietnamese tv on distortion max volume right above your head... a club would be kinder...they shoot horses don't they?
...it wasn't all bad...Ernest Hemingway was riding...
...the Russian spy was spotted immediately...
...no doubt keeping an eye on me...that's Da  Nang in the distance...
...oh...did I mention we were on a train...

...so we get to Hue...or Huey as Cassandra calls it...
...and this shot is for my old buddy Jim...he worked at Prudential for years...
...a little more of  Hue...

...Cassandra being completely enthralled by my work...
...and Hue by night...
...so what did you do today?

    Losing your edge???? Man, you are so dull, you don't have an edge, you have a flat top!
    Actually, Cassandra has it nailed when it comes to your work...BORRRRING... when do we get to see the hoochiecoochie dancers and the real "tea ladies"? and by the way, you can't drink worth whatever young Trudeau called Peter Kent [who once loaned me his apartment in Montreal for a private assignation...] IN PARLIAMENT! OH well, to bad your missing a 1964 fuddleduddle moment.
    Further to your travels, on a more serious note why don't you visit an underground Ho Chi Minh Hotel???
