OK guys, the first thing every married man should remember is his anniversary and his wifes birthday. Well, I broke the second commandment last week and plum forgot Mrs. Spalsh's birthday ! So she informs me that I will be taking her on a trip this weekend to celebrate our 17th anniversary. She then says that she wants to go to Franklin to visit the museum and then do some hiking in the Smokey Mountains.

So, where does the jonesing come in you ask??? Well, during an email conversation with Mr. Newsome, he informs me that my IoS boxpleat is done and can be picked up (my MacKinnon Ancient hunting is still working it's way over from Scotland)

So, my unknowing wife has just provided me with an end to a jones, a hiking trip in a brand new kilt and a great weekend with the most lovely woman on the planet on the same weekend! Can life get any better?
