As Haan would say, "listen up pilgrims", Donini is back from Patagonia and we all can relax now that Jim is here to keep us in line. Things on ST have gotten out of control recently since his annual migration south. His periodic guest appearances were too infrequent to keep the lads on a course of proper ST etiquette.
His candor, experience, discipline and sense of duty have been sorely missed. He will listen to you but you better have some quality points to battle or else adios partner.
Good thing he is back, because I was ready to send one of my Maori mates here in New Zealand up north.
Welcome back Donini.

Apparently "Patagonia" is now located somewhere in Polynesia. The two names are somewhat similar, so Jim's confusion is understandable.

I bet he didn't do jack sh'it down there this year.
Everyone that I talked to that came back didn't do anything either because the weather was totally the worst in years.

Pate, that's only funny when you are as young as yo and mi be. :D Heard some great tales about Donini from the choir recently. Nevah met the Dude so will withhold judgement.....good and not so :D
Weather sucked in Europe also. Ski races cancelled....mountains in white out mode. I hope to go back end of April and try again. Think it's not so easy to do that with Patagonia. Well, JD, heard yo might make Woodson....maybe meet you. Peace and lots of Joy cause life gives us that. lynnie

I am a little confused here. Donini told everyone he was going to go hiking on the Appalachian Trail.
And he ended up in S. America?
