Hey Nancy!   
      
    NB> I do think you mentioned that earlier...   
      
   I believe that rumour was an Island based brewerie looking to expand to a   
   distillery with one of the products being a single malt whiskey.  The Surrey   
   (mainland greater Vancouver area) apparently already has distilled a single   
   malt whiskey so they probably have a jump on the Island based one which I am   
   not sure but would guess to be in the greater Victoria area.   
      
    NB> His comment was that the Japanese do indeed make creditable   
    NB> distilled and brewed products....  :)   
      
   Okay.   
      
    NB> Maybe someone else will invite you to share something else...?   
      
   That would be nice but highly unlikely since they usually abandon the   
   neighbourhood for the holidays.  One neighbour usually sticks it out - will   
   this year as well - but he is unlikey to spring for any cheer nevermind a   
   single malt.  To be quite honest that is just as well as neither of us are all   
   that holiday minded.   
      
    NB> And it comes ever closer...  ;)   
      
   Yes indeed.  I am definetly ready for it this time around.  :-)   
      
   Life is good,   
   Maurice
