Happy Birthday, Haj! Hope nasty bugs all gone from you and the fam, and birthday celebration is great.

Happy Birthday, Bryan. Gobble gobble.

Congrats, and hope all goes well with the move, Tom. Beautiful area you are moving to ...

Cheers and Happy Birthday, Jeff.

Happy belated, Juan ... hope it was great.

Grants to Lance, Greg ...awesome swordsmanship. Lyme disease sucks, Dan, hope you are clean. As Al says, just lick the Lyme.

Happy Birthday, Chris. Hope it's great.

Happy Birthday, brother Mikey! Will raise an extra tot of rhum in your honor tonight.

^^^ Yep, me too.

Huge 'grats to the Giants and their fans. Al, what a great series - only sorry they didn't finish at home for you. Bum is a machine. My only thought on last night was, "Gordon had an inside the park HR if they sent him." Fantastic end to the 2014 season.

Lots of awesomeness in this thread ... Baguette's great speaker rig ... Shelly's BHSE, and the swell advice on shelf clearance ... Grahame and Jo's trip to the Auld Sod, and hookup with the tall man ... Chris @ midwest Lagunitas heaven (jealous) ... The reappearance of Fitz (not unlike my own) ... But the winner is definitely (drum roll, please) Tyler, Ann Marie, and little Kora ... May the family be reunited soon, Tyler. Happy trails.

Jesus, Fucking, Christ! Jack Bruce and I are/were the same same age. He didn't ask me if he could die yet. WTF? I thought we had a pact? RIP, Jack. The world loves you.

Wow! Just Wow! Fun times with shady friends. I hope Mike and JP were checked for guns, knives, wmds, and illegal substances. Wish I were there to share the madness. Thanks for sharing - and, we are only as old as we feel we are. Oh ... very bad choice in music, but at least the guy/girl tried ...

Vicki ... gorgeous day in FL, indeed. I see your 20, and drop to 8. You are way ahead of my sorry ass, so feel good about that. At this rate, if you start riding west, and me east, we could meet in Sebring by December.

Bermuda in a hurricane is nasty business. indeed. Nowhere to hide. Good thoughts to many friends who live and sail there. Carl ... that is one pretty tortoise. I think he likes you. Time to give him/her a name. I vote, "Bruce".

Late to the party, but huge congrats to the Giants for closing out the series in a big way, and agree with analyses above by Wayne, Al, and TMon. Bochy, indeed, is the wizard behind the mask, and deserves huge credit, but he needed and got the performance on the field from his lads. I can't help but wish this series goes 7. Who doesn't have a soft spot for the Royals? Can't believe we have to wait till Tuesday, but from then, game on.

Happy belated, Peter! Hope all well with you, and that the year ahead is a great one.

Happy Birthday, buddy. Sorry I didn't see this til today, but trust you and Bonnie celebrated in style.

Top of 7th was scary, but looking ok now. Hang in there, and get the W.

Sleep tight, Vicki. Love you back, and nice to know you are checking up on us.

Happy birthday, V! Hugs from the west coast, and it's been way too long. Love you ...

Big one tonight, buddy. Classic October. Hope you are there.

Just saw your post re: Uncle Ronnie, Todd. I join Al and everybody else here in saying, sorry for your loss, but, more importantly, celebrating your famous uncle's life. What a treat he must have been at family gatherings. Mazel tov to Uncle Ronnie and all his heirs...

Hoping for a Giants vs Royals WS. Love the KC small ball, hustle, get 'er done style, and the fact that it's been a while for them. Giants, just cuz ... Grandpap's favorite team when they played at Polo Grounds way back in the day, and now solidarity with all my NorCal homies.

If I recall correctly, Fang's wife is hawt, in a "take off the thick glasses, and shake the hair out" kind of way. That memory is from a somewhat beer infused after party at The Office from L.A. CanJam. There was no talk of headphones or amps. YMMV.
