Okay, one more as I sit here laughing out loud about Tom stories trying not to wake the house. Again I arrive in Toronto after taking a delayed red eye from Vancouver. Which means we are about 30 hours without proper sleep. In Mom and Dad’s driveway and Tom says “Hey come and try this”. From his trunk he pulls out a clear Mickey bottle with a masking tape label. He tells me he made moonshine and this is the product. The masking tape label has a pencil inscription that is smudged. I read it out loud “Derby Scotch??....That’s an odd name “ I then take a hearty swig after which my throat thinks I have swallowed fire and my belly is looking for an escape from my body. Tom is rolling in laughter mostly because of the label which he tells me actually says........ “Deadly Scotch”. Don’t trust your ability to read a smudged pencil label on masking tape after an all night flight. We had many a Derby Scotch reference after that. Anyway, gotta go, Have a memorable day tomorrow as he has given you lots to laugh about. I shall raise a Scotch one more time and will laugh out loud. PS During our last chat he really spoke with great appreciation about help the neighbours were giving him and Brenda. Considering you had to survive potato cannons and who knows what other impulses over the years, well done folks.
