Promenade

Sheila: “No worries, Nick; I’d love a cuppa nightcap. Where shall we go?”
Nickey: “Well, Caribou Coffee is just down the street, if you don’t mind walking.” Sheila: “Brilliant!”
Nickey looks confused.
Nickey: “Are you offering me your arm?” Sheila: “I’m not airing me pits, dear.”

Walking arm-in-arm with a friend is very continental (meaning the European continent). Although a native of Melbourne (Victoria, Australia), Sheila was raised by parents who were themselves raised Cockney but with a continental flair. Besides, since our girls have showered after the game, neither one has a need to air her pits. I hope the good folks at Caribou Coffee don’t mind the plug; they’re a favorite of mine. Click through to find a location near you. (Try the maple waffle sandwich for brekka. Trust me ─ you’ll get hooked!)

This strip is the third of several underwritten by my fond friend Flare Starfire, whose magnificent music can be found and downloaded, absolutely free, from his website, Shire Records. He is currently working on a project for his company, Channel Fireball, to display his Pokémon professorial skills. I’ll keep you updated on all of that also, as it promises to be quite a show!
