Default This week I am mostly poncing with the hoi polloi

Yah, this week I have been a real upscale ponce ....Monday I was dined at Mission Hill, a fine six course feast with more wine than a man should drink including the finest ice wine, surrounded by splendid noveau medieval architecture and world class scenery, served by sweet fair maidens, in the company of the former premier of BC. Today I had a photo op with my arm round Jimmy Pattison, BC/Canada's very own Donald Trump, and acted as tour guide AKA Okanagan lifestyle salesman to a corporate photographer whose mission in life was to seek out sweet babes and encompass the beauty (natural and otherwise) of the Okanagan to tempt our corporate people to use us as a meeting location. This evening I'll once again be entertained and dined at a lakeside venue, served by more sweet fair maidens, after a short visit to Joeys to be served by yet more fair maidens.

I guess life in K-Town is just the bad hairy stinking pants not bad for a fella froma scruffy down at heel midlands town.

Rich.
