He's rich and he is connected, he will never see the inside of the Big House.

Silly, that gel is ubiquitous in California. It is used by soccer moms to convert A cups to double D cups.

Tuesday night Mary said over dinner that we are having earthquake weather and that we are due for one...

Well you still have the short opportunity when the knee jerk reactions settle down.

Happy Birthday Knucks!

Happy Birthday Renato!

Preparing for the apocalypse...

I just need a couple hours free time to get rolling, so far I have only seen the trailer.

Tough read I bet.

I am surprised that this thread has lasted this long, must be the leftover turkey and stuffing atrophy.

They obviously don't know who you are...

Happy Birthday Ken!

Happy Birthday!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Not today but last evening, we had fascinating eastern european cultural education over mexican food. Learned first hand what it is like to grow up in Kazakhstan and Moscow. It is encouraging that whether it be Moscow, Kazakhstan, Brescia Italy, or Armenia , they all share a common humor based upon "pull my finger".

Some wine from central Italy and some from the Garda district.

Ahhh, I see no beer in that picture, just sayin'. Christmas came a bit early today. Lance received a Russian National Team shirt and I received something bitter. Not pictured is a custom crafted Justin level finish FIE foil blade personalized by the manufacturer. The entire Italian olympic foil team and some of the Russian men's olympic foilists have changed over to use Franchini foil blades exclusively. We are honored to have him do this for Lance.

I am always appreciative of great wine and the best part is that I can use the byproduct to help extinguish the brush fires as they are still raging on the horizon I can see and that is a good thing that I can see anything after all the Syrah I have consumed tonight because I had to cancel a important business meeting I had scheduled at Nobu in Malibu which was especially nice because I could pick the wine and someone else was picking up the tab so that is a good example of first world problems I am grateful to have

So I am running around the house trying to get things ready for when our house guests arrive next Wednesday and I see a UPS truck pull up. Provisions from my bay area friend "The Tall Man". Many thanks!

They said that on Star Trek? /\ /\ /\ /\

You are obviously thinking of the wrong Greg.

Yep, experience over good looks is what I always say.
