Bill wanted to stop at Powell's to get a book for his brother Dudley. He said he knew the way from the 30 east road that led us into Portland. After a few wrong turns on Burnside, I decided to call the store and ask for the location. We were fortunate that we found a spot right away picked up some books then headed to the house.
I mentioned to Bill we should get some wine for Dot's table since she was feeding us. Never a man to be asked to pickup wine twice, Bill wholeheartedly agree. We stopped at the liquor down the road from his house and looked for the wine and Bill laid his hands on a bottle of Lagavulin. I said Bill, you are leaving in two days no way you will drink the bottle. He wanted to put it in his luggage. I said Bill, I do not think that is the best of ideas. He said, I want it, I am a Lagavulin Man and will leave it at the house for our future return. With a cocky laugh, he paid $85 ( comes out of combine travel budget because we are still on the trip) and tucked the bottle under his arm cradling it with tender caution.
The Bill's back and he's COCKY!
