This post seems eerie now. Wish him the best from all of us.

Fois gras on toasts with some vin rouge. Our Parisian friends brought four large cans of goose fois au torchon (encased in fat and wrapped in a towel). Amazing stuff, and even better with champagne but the red wine was open and handy.

Great cousins, etc., pic, Jim. Pretty pretty Blackbirds in the desert.

YOW! It's your birthday again Steve! Hope you're well and having a great day. Cheers!

Says the snowbird!

Merry birthdays to you both. The day sounds great Ric, and Esmé must have been psyched for the day. I wish I had a manhattan today. (

Christmas turkey and leg of lamb on the Traeger:

Ok, bacon and sausage. Merry Christmas.

Yeah, that's it!

Congrat on an awesome Santa Season Wayne! That is really something special and I hope you are proud of all the good tidings and joy you bring. Take a rest tomorrow and maybe the Big Guy will bring you something too! Cheers.

Happy Birthday Ken! In under the wire. Hope you had a merry birthday! Cheers

Merry Christmas and to all a good night!

Chasing La Fée Verte will put anyone into the holiday spirit! Wish we could have joined you. The pics are great and the colors are awesome.

The Illuminator

I am currently being Illuminated. Thanks Knucks and sorry for the frustration

Have a great one! Cheers

Are those strings of biscuits hanging down out of your reach? Must have been frustrating and distracting for you, but I hope you had fun anyway!

Mass effort on the website will get us some. I got 2 of 120 Eclipse tix that were gone in 1.5 minutes. It can be done (with local help).

*raises hand high*

Speaking of DLD 2014, it falls on the same weekend as Axpona, I believe. Anybody up for a ticket-buying blitz when they go up for sale? I think it could be the right year for HC/DLD. What say you?

Nice piggies and chockies tonight!

Babe on the Traeger! How could you?! Mmmm, Babecon. Have fun Mike and FedEx some leftovers.

I'd say your last two posts have been full of fun, but this recent one is full of funny too. What do people think about the Music Matters Jazz people issuing 33 RPM versions of some of the same records they did in 45 RPM? Crass grab for the cash? Recognition that turning over records every 1-2 songs has its drawbacks? Crass grab for the cash?

I'll get straight to the point. Nobody here thinks anything about them. Sorry.

I'm not sure how thick that neck is, but it sure ain't a No. 2. The Brews Bros. were not quite middle aged, and I would guess mid-30s. The Hurley shirt is a deputy sheriff and the bro in the purple shirt (called him Barney) said that he always has to punch people because his brother gets worked up but cannot get into fights himself because he is in law enforcement. They weren't so bad at all until they started jeering the guy in the shirt who works for 50-50's distributor. Still, there is no question whatsoever -- as I actually thought that evening -- that Naaman would have gotten fed up with these guys and would have clocked them both before they knew what was happening.
