Nah, you're still good! ?

Good stuff. Thanks, Al. Miss that fucker.

Sorry for your loss, Craig. Very sad news and a most challenging time for your family. Remember her well.

Thanks again, guys. Life is good. Birthdays are a great reminder of the alternative, and I'm always thankful to have another one and a chance for more.

Thanks guys, heading home to Illinois to see mom, et. al. Fall is always nice there.

Happy birthday, birthday brother!

RIP, Queen Aretha... and keep resting, King Elvis.

Horrifying. I have driven on that bridge. What a terrible way to go.

The NBA will be on snooze control for years now, assuming Boogie resigns a longer term deal after his first year. No reason to watch anymore, to be honest, other than to follow certain players.

LeBron to the Lakers. Oh boy, it's going to be exciting! Warriors in 4... just an earlier round.

Happy birthday, Brent.

Same boat, over 3,000 of them and another 1,000 DVDs and Blurays. Will get around to doing something about it, eventually. Maybe.

Happy birthday, Ari.

Happy birthday, Al.

I'll try to keep that in mind for the next time he dies. Poor bastard.

Harold Ramis, another one gone too soon. http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/chi-harold-ramis-dead-20140224-story.html

Happy birthday, Dan!

Happy birthday, Colin. Sounds like you had a good time.

Happy birthday, Steve.

Searched for this topic, and hate to drag an old thread, but I'm finding that as I age, it's becoming more and more important to protect my hearing. Too many places are just ridiculously loud these days. Anyway, on the Ety site, I found this new gizmo to be quite interesting: https://www.etymotic.com/consumer/hearing-protection/mp915.html My guess is that their second generation attempt at this particular product/technology will be the time to jump in, whenever that might be. But there is a lot of good feedback so I'm tempted... and I've spent $299 more foolishly. Could just order several of the ER-20 XS. Last time (several years ago now), I ordered 5 sets of the ER-20, and think I gave most of them away. Where the last pair or two are is anyone's guess...

Thanks, Craig! Next time for sure. We have an office in London now, so it was an easy stop over for a couple of days. On my way to Monte Carlo in the morning for more meetings on Monday and Tuesday. The human circus was quite good. They could all be Olympic athletes.

In London, heading to Royal Albert Hall to see Bob Dylan, no The Who, no... Cirque Du Soleil - Ovo.

Jo Jo White, 71. RIP. He was an athlete who I admired and by all accounts a good man as well. Rock Chalk Jayhawks. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/16/obituaries/jo-jo-white-dead-boston-celtics.html

I hate shit like this, but it happens, I guess. At least he was doing what he loved. RIP, Doc Halladay. Way too young: http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2017/11/07/roy-halladay-former-mlb-star-killed-in-plane-crash-off-florida.html
