That line from the father's song in Mary Poppins, where he's going on about how nothing can go wrong, in Britain in 1910.  That's about the point I realized the boy was gonna die in a trench.

If it's 40 years old, it'll be as shelf-stable as it can get. I wouldn't freeze it, just refrigerate it until it's time to send it and then wrap it in saran wrap, put that in a ziploc bag, wrap that in tape or something and send it priority. Oh, and I can probably cover the shipping, since ECHGF works at a UPS store and can just have you download a shipping label.

Alright then, barring horrible mischance this may well be possible.  I kind of feel like a holy relic dealer working in a non-profit capacity! I will contact you if and when the parcel is ready.

I wish I was still in state so I could buy some of this. Maybe my dad can swing some connections...

A prodigal native huh? My sympathies.  The offer is on the table for anybody, but as I said it's cost plus shipping. 

Except for ECH, dude just keep the cash and put it toward this here worthy cause of a site!

Alright then. The time has come to see if I can get the cheddar. I leave to the Milwaukee area in the A.M.

On Saturday the Cheddar of Nixon goes on sale at Wisconsin Cheese Mart. I will go forth, and if fortune be with me, find this cheddar.

I will be out of contact with the forum for a week(ish). Wish you good, gentle folk of PD well! If I am successful I will have the cheese when I return.

May Nixon and the Cheese be with you!

thanks Nigel! I think they were with me, but the effect was to not give me almost anything that I had expected.

For a lot of reasons the whole thing, the trip, the people I went home to see, the cheddar mission, all went totally awry. I have taken some time off from the board lately to re-prioritize my goals and the like. I've been heavily encouraged by some of my friends to get back to writing without distraction. ( One actually went so far as to prank call me as the character Trashy from the story to berate me. "you had a deal with the Garbage! Get back to work, get some paper and whatever else you need." Fucking union calls  :x ) I'm gonna do this. I have to get things back on track. I'll be around infrequently for a while, but sincerely hope the folks here are well!
