May contain a heavy dose of Jim Kerr
Just had to share this bit. The last few sentences… More times than you could ever think it, Pete – and in as vivid detail as my imagination will allow. Usually culminating in the most GLORIOUS of “EUREKA!” moments, as Jim leaps from seated spot in the bath tub…
