Wild Bill McBride, I thought you were about my age!!! Now I just feel bad taking advantage of an old geezer and how many times I've dragged you around a golf course on foot for many rounds, here and there. Tuckering you out like that and then playing in a heated match was just so wrong of me to take such opportunistic advantage of your age disparity I'm sorry. And to think I didn't give you any extra strokes for every year older you are than me. You have no idea how much this makes me think that next time, I must consider your age and give more strokes..... oh wait a minute, you make it up with your greater worldly cultured golf experiences and superior UC Berkeley education. Never mind, no strokes for you! I'll consider myself lucky just to take the field with you next match- that is way overdue.
May Lady Kathleen continue to have the strength and perseverance it must take to keep you on the right path.
Slainte from me Irish half, and Augari di buon compleanno from da udder half.
