Congrats on the close! How much work do you think you'll need to do in the 2 weeks?

Some good, father-son, father-son times there Al, congrats on the special times and great games to boot!

Deepak, he mentioned the Shure 1840'snot the 840's.....you've heard the 1840's? By your note "it's been a while since I have heard those" I thought you might mean the 840's. FWIW, I like the 600's better than the 840's, had both; but haven't heard the 1840's..... EDIT: beat me to it.......

Best wishes for your uncle, Dan. Indeed, positive thoughts!

Congrats on making it thru.....will those same lawyers now take you out for that drink?

Very Happy Birthday...s!

Great win by the Kings. Big congrats to the team and a bunch of great fans (from other boards, and personal accounts of visiting Boston fans). Couple real funny things for me as a Bruins fan: 1) Those ex-Flyers get the cup, and more funny: 2) Mike O'Connell gets to hold the cup before Joe Thornton [Mike was the GM who traded Thornton away] I think the saddest part though was that the TV ratings for this final series were so low....the NHL is SO high on marketing people like Crosby and Ovechkin, or maybe New York for viewership, that they let a great opportunity slide away. Two great American captains in the final, an American goalie winning the Cup and Conn-Smythe.....they had an excellent opportunity to market this to America but failed. Oh, well.....now on to the awards show and the draft.....

Dang, that's too effing cute! Gotta get a pic of my cat, he was a furry beast that - even with daily brushing - still got knots like dreadlocks. So he was shaved......looks like a lion now, with little kitty Ugg boots, a wild mane, and a little clump of fur at the end of his tail.....

What a great pic of your dad, Al, the smile says it all! Glad to hear he's so up and about, looking quite awesome at 90!

Truly sucks, give them hell and make them suffer. At my old company, I swear someone read the "Inhumane MBA Manual of Layoffs Without Costs" to get rid of some folks before they did some outsourcing. There seemed to be a minimum number of people that got a 2 (out of 5) on their annual reviews. A 2 means sub-par, and there's no bonus, no raise, and they are put on "plan" (from which they will never come off). A fair amount of folks left in dusgust, or got pushed out for not coming off plan. Later, they did a formal layoff with severance and transition plans, but for those early ones it was the most horrible treatment I've seen in my 25+ years in corporate life.....I can think of only one person who was possibly a level 2 for their review....

It certainly stains more than White Wine Audio.....

Happy Belated!!

(Yesterday) We grumbled in the a.m. as my son's soccer game was NOT cancelled despite continuing rain and forecasts of thunder-showers. Travelled 45 minutes to the lovely town of Manchester, MA. Watched the end of the previous game, realized it WASN'T raining so hard there and the field was turf. RIGHT at the end of their game, the rain came down REAL hard, torrential. With both teams on the field, totally soaked, the ref calls the game due to weather Ended up making the best of it, found a nice little diner for breakfast, drove over to the beach and watched the waves from inside the car, then went to a mall. Came home, watched Forrest Gump on DVR, and just made a simple and fun eve of it. Today: weather cleared up a bit, though rain may continue in spotty segments. We'll head up towards the NH seacoast, maybe check out Hampton Beach and the boardwalk area there....

Very Happy Birthday Miguel! Al, love the cake, Google is certainly YOUR friend

I think this is Mr. Joly! Anyone remember the days of Joly Speakers? http://www.joly.com....sh/engAward.htm

Love this! I was just listening to the Red Line/White Line version of this yesterday, best intro to a song EVER! [media=]

Nightworld by F. Paul Wilson.....going to miss the Repairman Jack series, this is the last of them......

Nice to hear all the good goings-on....... Another Bar-Mitzvah party for us today, twins in my son's class, and we know the folks; he is a local newsman, off the anchor desk for some time though. Service this morning, party later tonight. Then BBQ's the rest of the weekend! Going to break out my Buffalo Kielbasa methinks.....yum

All of the above....a fine tribute to seemingly a great man. RIP, and may the memories be long and wonderful.

Condolences and best wishes to you and family....

Happy Birthday!!
