So update. Picked up the Irishman at JFk. He then got a nice dose of Long Island traffic. Left LI through lower Manhattan (yes, lots more traffic) and spent the night in Gettysburg. Its cloudy, cold and misty so Mike is right at home. Anyway, off to see the Gettysburg site, then head to Asheville. W...

Uss....if you come through Denver area, look me up. I know October will be nuts with the number of guests we are having and such, but let me know if you and Lorin swing through the area. It was on my suggestion list since I learned you weren't coming. The whole mountain and Mohammed thing. I also w...

Well he answered my email. Short and.....well, at least he is ok. Said he would stop in one day. So that's that.

I am hoping you all have a great time, but I will not be able to make it. I am teaching this fall at the local community college on the weekends so that I can extract myself from my job. I am really sorry you can't make it but you are making some great decisions for you AND your family. Stress kill...

Mine was repossessed............. by me . but it wasn't cheap. That is a deep statement, lorin. And I'm thinking it shouldn't be. Cheap, I mean. I am also blessed in that I enjoy my job. But I am aggravated by a lot of the peripherals. And the school where I teach gives less and less over the years...

Good for you, Av. Hope you got *some* stuff done, at least. This has been an unsettling few days. Last week, one of my work buddies called in because her brother had unexpectedly died. (And I found out today that the florist had sent me a refund because they couldn't get my flowers to the funeral h...

I would absolutely be interested. Let me know as far in advance as possible what weekend and my wife and I will make a long weekend of it. Well schedule is starting to firm up. Mike(Uss) and I will be in Asheville the weekend of 10/1 and 10/2. i really hope we can make a weekend of it! Mike is a be...

And yet here you are on this thread
You are an enigma, wrapped in a riddle.

bump 'cause I never forget. When you forget it happens again. And right now we need some reminding of atrocity. The atrocious can sneak up on us in many disguises.

9/11/15 passed without my bump. It makes me sad and I feel like apologizing....but to who(m)?

Beverly pointed this out and I'm really looking forward to it. Great cast, interesting themes and glad to see Will Smith is not shoving his zombie son down our throats this time.

Find a way out of the cycle before you become me. You are too smart to not be able to find a way to reverse course.

Misery is addictive, I speak from experience.

Ah well, I guess I'm ahead of the game there. I pretty much like my job and my workplace. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm eager to work of course, but then, if it was always fun I suppose they wouldn't have to pay you to do it. :D --A That is the magic. If you like what you do and you like who yo...

At least it's Friday... --A Everyday is the weekend for me. It's not all it's cracked up to be. Sorry to hear about Helldog, lorin. :( Thanks Ali and all. I was never this sad for the last three dogs I put down. I think it has to do with our 'history' as well as her being the ugliest dog who thinks...

Well, I'm not sure how you all (or as dpharmed would say....ya'all) will take this but I promise I am not evil. Maybe though I have my priorities screwed up. There are two pending deaths in my life right now. My father is dying. My attitude about it is a bit off center. I want him to go, or at least...
