Hey that's a REALLY good idea actually... Yell ya what, come ride up Mt Equinox with me, and we'll go there after, sound good?

East Dorset is the home of the birthplace of Mr William Griffith Wilson, co-counder of AA, and also happens to be my grandmother's second cousin! So I'm not a "friend" of Bill W, I'm related :D If anyone want's to join, I'm happy to lead the way. Also happens to be some nice roads around there!

I'm a friend of his,not to be alarmed or feel like you need to hide your drinks from me , it's been 19 years.,neither am I hypocritical of anyone that drinks.."Smashed or not." I read his book "Pass it on" After I thought about Vermont for a while I remembered this was bills childhood home,Where his Grandfather and him fashioned a boomerang out of a headboard of a bed. " Bill had always wanted to climb this mountain.(AEOLUS) "bennybmn-I'm In on that one! Don't worry guys I've learned to live with Dr JekyLL and Mr. Hyde.(Mr. Hyde is not allowed to drink anymore of that majic potion) It's all good.I'm still a crazy Mother Fucker! GREG ALLMAN : Lord, I'm no Angel... Guys don't be trippin" Speed.
