I do not recall playing poker with anything other than one massively
tripping black bear that week. Stoned and hungry is not a bear you
want to bluff. Besides that, I sort of blend in... and don't say
much... unless you ask me about certain subjects, most of which don't
come up often at claves...

But I'm with Myron: Swedish clave sounds right fine. Some of Roger's
photos and trip reports from his neck of the woods have me packing my
bags each time I read them.

Upper Jumbo exploration comes a close second (with south-of-the-bridge
possibilities filling out the trifecta), but other thoughts on that to
be posted to the "gatherings" thread... after I'm done with the
giblets.

And speaking of giblets (innards of various fowl, for those of you not
accustomed to the annual feast of giving thanks here in the U.S. of
A.) if thanks need be said, how about one or two for fine memories
accrued, posted, kept private or even lost regarding one another from
the nuthouse here?
