Happy birthday, Steve!

Thanks, guys. Birthdays are always nice. Now that I'm 55, my full AARP benefits set it. So look out iHop, here I come with my discount card! All I need now is my walker and some tennis balls.

RIP, Walter. This really sucks.

Ya, it's hard to know what to say sometimes. Miss you, Matt.

RIP, Jerry Lewis. A true legend. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/jerry-lewis-dead-nutty-professor-bellboy-star-was-91-721408

RIP, Don Baylor - baseball great and overall good guy, much too young to die, at 68. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/07/sports/baseball/don-baylor-dead-baseball-mvp.html

Kind of cool, the 2 minute interview is nice: http://www.mensjournal.com/adventure/articles/eric-clapton-just-caught-the-biggest-salmon-in-iceland-w433301

Sad news, and much too young. RIP Flounder. My brother in law bumped into him somewhere about 10 years ago, and said he was as cool as shit.

Sad news, RIP, Caped Crusader. You sure had me believing. Batman trio (with Burt Ward Julie Newmar) 2015 with some random dude who seeks celeb pics standing in back.

RIP, Gregg. You were an original and just had amazing and enduring talent. Thanks for everything.

Fuck, this one hurts. RIP, Nicky Hayden: http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/M/MOT_OBIT_HAYDEN_KYOL-?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

RIP Powers Boothe: http://time.com/4778685/powers-boothe-obituary-deadwood/?xid=time-amp-fbshare Thought he was great in Deadwood.

Then he quickly tries again, and she reluctantly hears him out. "I want to be on you."

Colin made quite a haul in New York one year, as I recall.

I owe you a couple of minutes. Sorry.

Game 5 is a must win for the Bulls. Even then, it will be tough. But still nice to see them hang in there this far.

RIP, Robert Pirsig. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/04/24/525443040/-zen-and-the-art-of-motorcycle-maintenance-author-robert-m-pirsig-dies-at-88?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20170424 (Really liked that book, and should read it again sometime. It's been a long, long time.)

Man, that's really rough. RIP, young man. You did so exceptionally well in your time here. Keep living guys. You never know when your number will come up.

Troll? Me? I have no idea what you're talking about! (BTW, a little too much sun today. I was squinting.)

Not 15, just 2 or 3 well selected ones. Makes up for all of the trolling you guys do here.

You probably quit listening to the headphones and started listening to the music again. Happens all the time with me when I begin to settle in with new gear and forget about the need to analyze it all the time.

The potentially good news is that the electronics division/brand/stuff will no doubt be spun off in a reorganization (if they can get away with it) or more likely sold to another large tech company prior to dragging those assets into an all out bankruptcy. More cash flow for their shareholders that way, as opposed to a slow, piecemeal and court controlled asset sell off. So hopefully that will mean better products and lower prices to the end consumer of whatever company can pick up their assets and technology on the cheap.

Death of my brackets! Oregon outplayed and definitely outshot Kansas tonight. My Final 4 is gone. Only guessed 1 game right in the First 4, then got 24 in the first round, 10 out of the Sweet 16, and 4 out of the Elite 8. That's 39 in total. I've done better and I've done worse.
