As I said the other day, I wasn't characterizing it as a "vacation", per se, but hanging out in our yard in the glorious weather we've had this summer is almost as special as a vacation. As with Clint, my wife and I are on a perennial vacation, interrupted by health problems and the schedu...

Glad to hear that your wife is enjoying these musical adventures with you, too. Coolio.

Welcome, Steve! Glad to see you here, man.

I could go on ...

And, thanks for making the font colour selection more sensible and usable.

Glad to see you posting on our new board, Phil (graypencil)! ... and while not what I'd call "big band" repertiore, the Maria Schneider /Dawn Upshaw orchestral work is absolutely stunning ! Man, I couldn't agree more. Maria's Sky Blue is a winner, too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-p1kP...

Hammer Time! MLB star Ryan Braun suspended for drug violations By RONALD BLUM AP Sports Writer NEW YORK — The first star to fall in baseball’s latest drug investigation is one of its biggest: Ryan Braun.

And now we're back to our annual (at least) discussion of some of those things in life which are most elusive and subjective.
