Maybe you should transfer your loyalties to your conference schools Duke, and NC State? Yea, I know that's going to happen.

How can you forget Ennio Morricone?

There's 3 types of sausage in my house. Country (light seasoning, locally produced from local butchers), all pork, (I like the coarse grind). Very fresh. I prefer bulk over links. Italian: Much like country, fresh pork, but with lots of fennel and other spices. Great with my Sunday Sauce...

Cleaning out my Grandad's house, I donated 33 boxes of Nat. Geo., from the first issue, to the local library. They're probably composting in the mix.

I'm not at the end of my life, but I'm pretty sure I can see it from here. (Don't let the Old Man in). My Niece gave me a photo frame with Bluetooth. New pix of the toddler almost every day. One of my daily highlights.

What a cutie.

Holding a couple of stacks of $100's ?

I'm getting a little nostalgic thinking about the station wagons of my youth. Big, luxurious Ford Country Squire cars. I think the fake wood vinyl on the side made it. Great car.

Why is it that when I hear "axe", I think of guitar? I'm a reformed trombonist, not a guitarist.

Perhaps you need to purchase a Steely Dan?

Good chance she'll see the next century. Congratulations, I love to see new life.

Have you thought about a last chance reconciliation fishing/sailing trip? I'm not suggesting anything. As a lifelong sailor, many things can be solved on the ocean. Why do I keep coming back to Brad Pitt's character in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood?

What flavor Yggy did you acquire?

How many remember chemistry slide rules?

Suddenly, Camp Morehead, (near Morehead City, NC on the Bogue Sound ) my destination 4 weeks every summer back in the 60's comes flooding back. Back in the day, I was a master of the Flying Scott, the Lightening (wooden hulled), and the little Sailfish.

I'd love a comparison between the v3 Lyr and the new Lyr, with respect to tubes. My Lyr 3 is a pre to my Jot for output. Everything is sublime now, so why want more? We're Human. Or, as Edward G. Robinson's reply stated when asked in the great movie Key Largo what he wanted: MORE.

I've liked Wayne Shorter for years. Weather Report has been among my most favorite bands. I've never had the pleasure to see them live. My go to Weather Report album has always been Heavy Weather. It came out the same year I graduated HS (1977). Constant play with Steely Dan Aja among others.

I'm not positive, my thoughts are he was already part of the Borg. My first phone was a can, connected by twine submersed in melted wax/candles from Mom's sideboard. Maybe 75 yards, taught, connected to another can.

I can't believe that's his natural timbre. I'd like House to take a look. Might be lupus.

Thanks, I'm not a wine guy, but I enjoy being "schooled". Great forum. Next time I'm around wine friends, I can actually sound like I'm not an idiot. ;-)
