 JW> Roslind loves Halloween and cute little kids in costumes. She is
 JW> really going to have a hard time this the first year of having all
 JW> the g'kids living down in Alberta.

 ML> There are other kids in this world, who are yours for
 ML> 30 seconds each.

She is willing to pay reverse wages to babysit.

I didn't hide out at the Gold Range after all but helped hand out
the loot here at home.
   
 ML> A case can be dealt with - it keeps forever, and the last
 ML> few bottles, drunk in your dotage, would be great treats.

I'd have to really like it before I ordered a case. Kevin tells me
it is available at the other of our two liquor stores and highly
recommends it as well.

 JW> had become a guest not a customer.

On subsequent trips, if I had clients, we ate Canadian or Chinese
off the menu, I got a bill and I tipped on it. But if I came alone
we ate Tibetan, Indian, or better Chinese and he refused payment so
I got into the habit of bringing a bottle of brandy (his favourite
tipple, not mine) with me. We often spent evenings playing chess and
drinking if the restaurant wasn't too busy. He thought that the
bottle had to be finished that same night; luckily his wife helped
us do that. Also luckily my hotel room was walking distance from the
restaurant.

 ML> That must have been a treat all round.

It was.

Back to my Thai collection, hoping I don't overlap Dale too much:
