Well, as I mentioned, I haven't had a chance to check out The Duke of Perth...the one time I got there was a Monday afternoon and that's the only day that they're closed until five in the evening.

But it looks like I will have a chance to case the joint tomorrow (Saturday the 13th). I'll be going downtown bright and too damn early to help collect the migratory birds fly into buildings downtown (how I get roped into these things, I don't know) and then have to drop my daughter off at a class and then meet up with an old friend from college to hang out some. I suggested that we have lunch at The Duke so I could assure myself that it is a joint of adequately high quality as I would not want to even suggest that the Kilted Brethren assemble and take refreshments in some cheesy low dive.

Hey, humor me, this is the line that I'm giving my wife so play along, eh?

And if she calls, tell her I was with you all the time.

Best
