Sunday Roast

Brighton, England - On the advice of a business associate, Keith Rochford, I drove from my lodgings in Hickstead to Brighton, which is on the sea. It was a trip of only a few miles. Brighton was famously mentioned in the Who's song "Pinball Wizard," so I felt compelled to visit it. I'm glad I did. Thanks to my vast experience driving the narrow streets of Amsterdam, I was able to navigate the tricky traffic of Brighton and soon came to "the South Coast's hottest destination," the marina. I wasn't all that impressed with the American retail feel of the marina's boardwalk, but once I got a few blocks away, I felt better. I found a nice pub advertising Sunday Roast, which, I learned, is an English tradition. So, I sat down to a nice lamb roast with gravy and Yorkshire puddings. Fantastic. My hostess was a struggling Dutch artist named Loeske (pronounced Loo-ska). Being a right-brained abstract painter she didn't have a clue how to get her work on the 'net. So, she gave me her e-mail address and I hooked her up with my sister-in-law, also a starving artist with a fantastic blog. And I'm not just saying that because she has drawings of my kids on her site!
