Birthday coming soon

[John Esak]

Hi Ken,

Thanks.  I'm about 1 hour from Philadelphia, 2.5 hours from NYC. I'm old
enough to buy lots of beer.  You're on. The train stops about 4 blocks from
my apartment, so it isn't inconceivable if you are in either city.

As for coming down to Oz... I have made it a "must-do-2010" thing.  I'm
planning on Christmas time.  The exact dates will depend on when and where
John Williamson will be doing concerts.  I would not go to Australia without
being able to hear him at least once. Don't care where, but would like to
hear him in his own neck of the woods, up in Brisbane ... Your stomping
ground.  You have a huge country though, so if it works out that he is only
in Perth... Well, we'll see. :-)  Obviously, I'm going to visit Sydney, so
maybe I'll have to see him there, but if he is playing anywhere within
reasonable flight patterns, I'll plan it.  When it gets close, I will get
your coordinates and take you out for that beer... But I've heard steaks can
be pretty good down under, too, so let's make it dinner.

I really am going to spend some time over the summer working out a good tour
of your country.  I've been meaning to get there for a long time now, and I
want to do it when I'm still young (at heart if nothing else. :-). :-)

Do they allow seiing eye tea cup Chihuahuas in the hotels down under?

John
