It's a WHS trowel made in Sheffield, and I got it from my friend Fiona in London many years ago. I named it "Chopper" and it has served me well. Back in San Diego, and while digging in Jordan, my friends used to call me "The Chopper." The name comes from the terrible movie C.C. and Company starring Joe Namath and Ann-Margret. I'm thinking of bringing the name out of retirement.

Since you've moved from San Diego to New Orleans, perhaps Choppa would be more appropriate.
They printed your editorial yesterday. Good stuff.
Haha...I had forgotten about calling you Chopper back in the wadi. Good times!
