Bell's

A quick trip to Windsor, Canada this afternoon scored 4 big bottles of Bell's scotch, my all time favorite.  It was introduced to me by Ted Hall, RIP, of Toronto back in the late '80's/early 90's.  Vern Nelson, RIP, former fine father-in-law, introduced me to Ted and we attempted to put together a business venture that looked a lot like modern day Windows.  We weren't able to make the venture work, but we had one helluva great time trying!  Me, Zoe, Vern, Ted and his wife Barbara had many fine times and more than a few scotches.  I can't remember if mother-in-law Marjean, RIP, was on those trips or not, but she hosted the Hall's in Raleigh several times. 

Since it isn't available in the states, the last time I enjoyed it was in London while there with LaVerne.  So this first drink is to LaVerne.  The next will be to Ted, and the following one to Vern. 
And Lynn is even having one as she said "not bad" after a taste instead of "ewweeee".  Oh yeah!  Life is so good!

Here's to LaVerne, Ted and Vern.  Three of the finest people I've ever known!
