RIP Roy.....I heard several of his speakers "back in the day" (early 80's), some very good products for the time.....

Happy Birthday and Tickety-Boo, Guv!

RIP George....so prolific....!

I got in to our High School right when voting opened, still a decent backlog (they delayed school one hour, good plan). Got through quickly though. At the local level, we had voting on 2 single positions and one with a list of names for a group: one of the single positions had NO candidate on the ballot, the other only one. If you wanted to vote for the first, you would have to write-in. I'd hate to have to count that one.....

Happy Birthday, Hipster Whisk(e)y Collector!

Jury Duty today. I and about 25 others sat for a bit, waiting for cases to go to trial (or not). We got called in for a DUI Criminal case. 7 of us were chosen, the rest went back to wait. Eventually, we were told all other cases settled outside of trials, so we got released. Happy to serve, the last time I got impaneled and was a juror for a civil case. Quite fascinating, and I truly feel I'm doing good. This time....read a lot. But now, I'm off for 3+ years again....

^^^ Have that, need to listen. How do you like?

Bit of a bump. Now have two Intona USB Isolators, work well in both systems (one headphone-, one speaker-based). USB Regen, Audioquest Jitterbug, & iFi iPurifier 2 off-line for now, and a Wyrd 4 Sound Recover goes between my PC and Auralic Gemini Amp/DAC. All made noticable improvements. Still haven't played around with piggybacking multiple products together. John, any updates on yours, or did it become superfluous with your Melco? Curious....

^^^ Some of that can be deductable. And, can/do you do a Childcare pre-tax Spending Account? For me, ready for taxes as well. Had to pay a boatload in ES-1 payments because I'm a contractor now without a 401K and can't do any kind of pre-tax (or fuck, post-tax Roth) IRA.

Happy birthday! Wishing you at a minimum a good cigar day!

RIP to two more.......continuing to be a hell of a year.....

Happy Birthday!!

Second college visit completed in PA (Dickinson and Bucknell completed, Lehigh and Lafayette remain). Made our way to the last hotel which will serve as base for the final 2 visits. I gotta say....the the ride between Eastern and the Middle of PA is pretty fucking dreary.....

Happy Birthday!!

I saw him I think on that same tour. Some drunk asswipe kept yelling for Bela Lugosi's Dead and Peter let him have it after a while. Good show all around....

Happy Birthday! C'mon in and see us sometime

This. And if you always paid at least minimum due and on time, that's a GOOD thing in their book.

^^^ I'd have to say not dirty..... Bruins embarrassed at home on Milan Lucic's return to Boston. 9-2. Horrible home record, away record keeping them in playoff spot. Hoping they are sellers come trade deadline....

Jesuit Christmas....! Don't check weather reports for a day or so, and 1-3" turns into 5-8" My son may get a 4-day weekend out of this.... EDIT: we got the call tonight, no school tomorrow.....

Ditto on the Amanda Palmer tribute, just purchased. Also will be listening soon to another Bowie tribute album, Lea DeLaria's House Of David. EDIT: Holy Shit is ^^^ this puke-inducing. I had heard Lea had a decent voice - she does - but she completely redoes Bowie tunes in a crappy lounge jazz way. NOT recommended. Off to listen to some GOOD jazz:

Happy Birthday!

Yay, wife Karen is back. Flew in this morning, switched her flight from last night which was a great idea. Picked her up at the airport, we went to the (somewhat) new Boston Public Market for a quick run-through, then ate in a nice North End restaurant. Followed that with visits to pastry shops and deli to get some goods for the road, then back to the Market. Nice to have her home with us. I DO like the bachelor/dad time, but it's a too empty without her. Fireplace fire and a movie likely tonight.
