Hi John

You wouldn't by any slight chance be having someone on would you John <G> -
Yes he is good isn't he - but plays a slightly different code of football
to English soccer I seem to remember - big lad too - name spelt Dorsett -
difficult to be PC here but he's got a good sun tan I seem to remember,
must be nearly over the hill now? Might be good in goal under a different
code.

One of my favourite pass times and much looked forward to Sep thru'
Superbowl is watching the weekly big match.

I suppose you're able to see all the warm up games - must be starting soon?
Anyway is this the season for a comeback by the Packers <BG> or have we got
to wait another 20 or 30 years.

Kind regards
PAul
Portland
