I'd never heard of him until I watched a documentary on Seymour Bernstein. Curzon was his teacher and favorite pianist.

Any fans here? I was looking for something to listen to. Solo would be preferable.

Who else thinks that the opponents of the Mets are taking a dive, and who is behind it? Bernie Madoff?

When did baseball "Modern Times" start?

I was in a bar last night and saw on a TV there that there were two baseball teams playing that I'd never heard of -- the Marlins and the Mets. How long have these teams been around, and what wvwr happened to the Indians and the Tigers? Were those teams not good enough?

What professional basketball team was named after a TV set and what was the name of a famous player for that team whose first name was the same as a dairy product? Too easy: The Vermont Vizios and their star guard Curd Shmelking. Thanks for asking! Great answers! But the correct ones are: Rochester...

Anybody watching the Jinx?

Now is the time I am supposed to say that the British House of Cards was better.

How much water does a 10-gallon hat hold?

Kentucky has to make it through the SEC championship "before this thing is over," and both A&M and Ole Miss took them to overtime this year. I think their number is coming up soon.

Nice that you can do very little -- slowly. I don't have that option. But I am "only" 62, so that might be the difference. You had 12 more full-time working years than me.

Not a big fan of Maher at all, nor Brian Williams I can appreciate those who appreciate people like Jon Stewart, but he -- IMHO -- has really done a disservice to journalism. He is a good comedian and commentator, but his success has led to the infusion of his brand of snark at many old-line news or...

It always amazed me how many of my fellow employees did not take advantage of the 401(k) benefit and free money that comes with it. And the people that raided their 401(k) multiple times and paid the exorbitant penalties for no good reason. Crazy. was reading yesterday about the high percentage of ...

Pat is around ... give him a day or two.

Doug,

Sounds like you must be close to 59.5

You know you are from Arkansas if: 1. You take your dog for a walk and you both use the same tree. 2. You can entertain yourself for more than 15 minutes with a flyswatter. 3. Your boat has not left the driveway in 15 years. 4. You burn your yard rather than mow it. 5. You think the "Nutcracker...
