bwanamrmWelcome back Ivan!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

Wildlife GalleryWelcome home! Can't wait to see some pictures...
Welcome home Ivan. If you recall, JudgeG came up with the original Little Ernest and he has been going strong ever sinse. I'm hoping he is going to peak with you and the Judge in Botswana!

Brian ClarkWelcome back, hope you had a great time! Looking forward to your pictures and reports.
Good to hear from you Ivan
I didn't go up there to die, I went up there to live.
Livin' the dream, Ivan! When are you heading back over?

A.DahlgrenI'm on the airport on my way back home from the great continent looking forward to the pics Ivan.
Ivan:
Can't wait to see the pictures and hear the stories. Here's my lil' E resting up on my sofa table and getting ready for Matetsi in 60 days, maybe a trophy elephant in Zim in 2012 and for sure, Botswana with Ivan and his lil' E in 2013.
the Sofa table/book shelf (full of Africa books!) is a pretty good use for feet, huh?
BTW, if anyone needs a lil' Ernest to take to Africa, P.M. me and I'll send you one! The only requirement is that you have to post some pictures with the dude and a big buffalo or elephant.
Let's talk about our trip and some mo' money when you get your breath back!
JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous.
Ernest, the table looks great. Thanks for the idea. I just emailed a copy of your photo to my taxidermist with instructions.
