Please pardon my indulgence. I captured a very lovely image of my wife on the occasion of our 49th anniversary dinner recently on Kaua'i, and want to share it with you. The lei I bought for her is an amazing piece of work, the result of painstakingly weaving hundreds of individual orchid petals...

I'm assuming you'll be there and then share your thoughts with us in a passionate review, right, Steve?

My daughter's school is taking over! (Both Colbert and Myers are Northwestern alums.) Who's "Myers?" http://i.perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/seth-meyers-excited.gif Seth Meyers Seth is the new host of Late Night , following The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.

Thanks so much for that review, David. Man, I wish I'd been there. What a spectrum of tunes! I love Chick, and have seen him in a few different settings, but never solo. I had the pleasure of meeting him decades ago when he appeared on our University of Alaska Anchorage campus with my college mate, ...

Thanks so much, Valerie. What a sweet thing to say.

I hope to add even more photos to this thread from our trip tonight. More can be seen now at my 500px page. Click here.

Very nice, Coda. I especially like the evocative images of the Charles River, Cape Cod and Newton.

Good one, Sergio.


Here's a very recent indication of how smart, clever and funny Colbert is, airing just prior to the BIG announcement.

While I understand and appreciate bluenoter's reservations about Colbert replacing Letterman and dropping his alter ego, I'm very optimistic about his abilities and intelligence making him a logical replacement for Dave while not losing everything we've admired. And, his brand of sarcasm won't be le...

We need more players!

And Stephen Colbert is taking over! I guess the Cancel Colbert twitter thing worked. Very interesting. I was aware that Colbert's name was among those being considered, but I was unaware of a replacement for Dave having already been decided. Thanks for the heads up, Sergio. http://img2.wikia.nocook...

Thanks, Brooks. Yes, Hawaii is a paradise in many ways, including one for photography.

While in Hawai'i recently, I took hundreds and hundreds of photos, mostly landscapes, florals and seascapes. There are many other things worthy of photos, but some are very elusive. We were surrounded by birds of all types, including gorgeous songbirds, Moas (chickens), seabirds, pigeon...

It's wonderful to see your presence here again, Dennis! And, Isabella's, too! What a joy she must me. She can come up north and pick dandelions in our yard all day. ;) All best wishes for Aaron's back issues to be solved soon. I've been thinking of you lately, so am glad that you stopped by. Please ...

My wife, family & I have been longtime fans of Late Show with David Letterman, though we haven't been so enthusiastic about the show over the past few years. Despite that, we were surprised and saddened to learn that sometime next year, David will be "wrapping things up and takin' a hike&qu...

Doug, I had a somewhat similar experience. I wish they had chosen a different name. Many of these guys have been together for 10 years! Bassist/composer Michael League and many of his band of musical adventurers spent time at the Univ. of North Texas, a terrific laboratory for jazz players. Here's a...

This is a fine piece of fusion from an amazing young band. Impressive.
