F.I.F.O....

This is one of Dad's most favorite acronyms - it's not about inventory, it is about getting along when you find yourself in a new situation. This expression was no more evident than when Richard Borthwick recently came to Fredericton from Scotland to play for the Black Spruce - he fit in from the start, so much in fact that he would even qualify for another Malcolmism - he was in like a dirty shirt (I have no Idea) and even started to dress like the locals.

He left for a month long exploration of the land of oppurtunity - that's right the United Snakes. He was flying into JFK to tool around NYC. He would have been a welcome addition to our Loyalist Squad as we embark on another fall season, but alas he's been replaced with another Scotsman David Calder who himself has fit in quite nicely.

I've always figured that you should keep your mouth closed until you figure out how things work, adapt your style and then not shut up until you get heard. you learn way more while listening than you do while talking.

Anyways Richard, it's been a pleasure - enjoy your trip and we'll see you on TV one of these days...
