An Excerpt from my Brother Chris's Memoir (as "Remembered" by Me)






"I explored my surroundings today, and visited a local pub called The Romping Cat (as seen to the left), where I chatted up the bartender and shared a Shandy with the Locals. As you can see, the sun was actually shining and I enjoyed the walk and took in the views of the beautiful countryside. The surrounding area is very rural, and with all of the rain it is very green. As I was not familiar enough yet with the area, I decided to head home before it got dark. On my way I realized that I may have had one too many Shandy's (the Local's were very generous and kept buying another round), and seemed to have gotten slightly lost on the way home. I soon found myself wandering through what was thought to be a grassy knoll. To my surprise, it was actually a field in which the bulls enjoy their dinner, which I found would be me soon if I didn't begin to run. I snapped this picture shortly after I jumped the fence. If you look closely, you can see the smoke still coming from the bull's nostrils. I must have been running at least 25 KPH (that's fast right?). But, in the end, I made it home safely with all limbs in tact. Next time I will remember not to wear red on my walk around town."
