Great fun read Ian!

I don’t know why, but I just always want to call you Ian! Hope you don’t mind?

Thanks for the trip to Savanah on st Patrick’s day. Curious tho, as to why on earth you decided to move to South Carolina in 2021 of all years!? If you’re anything like me, and I’m guessing you are, the politics there would make very angry every day. Nice place to visit but I certainly would not want to live there (unless my family was there).

You need to read up on Savannah! Including what state it’s in! And the blue-ness of Savannah is why you now have two Democratic Senators from Georgia, and a Democratic majority in the Senate! YOU’RE WELCOME!!

Yikes! My mistake and apologies. Yes I know there are pockets of blue but overall the south is too much for me. I’ve spent my fair share visiting family in Gulfport vacationing in Florida etc. and I have little desire to go back down around there anytime soon. But the thought of actually relocating and moving there a year into Covid!? To me it’s a surprising choice. Unless of course your family is there.

I’m impressed that you invoked Flannery O’Connor, even if it was in your blatant appeal for cash.

I made my usual trip as far north as Pinkie’s for a shot and a pint, then returned to saunter around Starland for a bit. Pretty mellow overall.
