Huzzah!

If Elliot forms Cazcadia, then I'm in too, YG. Then we can make "Festivus for the Rest of Us" our official national holiday! Now that is worth fighting for!

Belated Happy Birthday, Trillo. Been away from here too long with too much busy stuff. Missed a load of very funny stuff. Took me the last hour to catch up. Burnal Equinox coming up next weekend. Anne and I plan on making an appearance and doing a bit of dancing with the stars! Always a fun mosh pit...

Thanks, Eliot and BVB. Yeah, it was really a peak experience

It sure did!

Hi All .. Just back from a five day trip to Vienna and still fighting jet lag. Don't know if it is the jet lag from going or coming. My daughter took her old man (me) on this trip and it was great fun being with her. She was attending a scientific meeting at the International Atomic Energy Agency (I...

Sure missed a lot of Amtrakathon fun! Was with you all in spirit however.

Lot happened since I was last here, much very funny. Seems that if I don't comment for a day, the Bar forgets me.

Hugs to all of you

Carpe Diem

Hey Ratty, thanks for the link. WOW Looks like the Man will be rather spectacular this year

Happy Birthday, AntiM.

Morning, kiddies. Drove a grandson to Santa Barbara to start college on Sunday and returned last night. Hadn't been there in many years and was blown away at how beautiful the campus and the city have grown. Looked like a young students paradise to my jaded eyes

Cheers

Hi BBD, sorry to hear of the loss. Did not know him, but if you and YG loved him, he had to be someone special

Hi JJ, good to see you.

Thanks for the Figjam update, Elliot, and also the horror story of the house next door. Love your attitude, Figjam, but do as the docs say and get better quickly.

Best wishes to your nephew, Bedlamdoll. My thoughts are with you and your family

Great news!!!

Hi BVB, Did not notice much slowing down of the tennis balls, but the way my octogenarian tennis buddies play, any slowing down of the balls would amount to a dead stop. But it felt good despite the 42 F temperature. Played 2 sets and won them both 6-2, 6-3, so came off the court feeling pretty good...
