I go through spurts where I read but mostly I just don't have the time or strength and I don't like reading when I am exhausted. It just puts me to sleep. I did the GoT marathon in between my last trial and the Samsung Saga. It takes away from the show somewhat because you know what's coming, or supposed to be coming, and there were so many changes this season that it was kind of annoying and disappointing.

Wow, that looks tasty Grahame. I'm sure some former VCs were cooking or serving your brunch. Bucks has a three-VC minimum at all times.

Quite uncharacteristically, I plowed through all five GoT books, although the first three are the ones I liked much more than the last two.

R.I.P. Shelly. You'll be missed.

Decided to reclaim the porch from the wisteria that was cut back to nubs in the fall.

Carbo loading. That's how they prepare for the Tour de France.

Are my eyes deceiving me, or did Thrice just post three times in this thread??? Hello Stephen! EDIT: I guess Dusty noticed yesterday, but I wasn't attuned. Welcome back.

yes

I guess his famous original doo was just an elaborate comb-over to hide his fivehead. Thanks Stretch. Now, who owes me a drink?

Congrat to Peter! Plenty of time for you to drink before his next event.

I noticed that! Thanks.

The 2012 look of Flock of Seagulls guy is going to haunt me for some time to come. It was better when he covered his face with the hair rather than the windblown Fabio look.

We have used the 2001 image, among others, in our arguments that the iPad isn't a novel design. I'll have to see if we can work Picard into our papers too.

Beautiful table, Ric. Hope she loves it.

It's nice to know you are still listening to the same stuff. Mostly, it's nice to have you posting again.

I agree on the repair issue because the Air is in the same boat and I just get Apple Care and don't sweat it. I also agree that unless you need major power, which I assume you do not, or plan to watch a lot of movies on the lappy, then the Air is the way to go. I do not agree, however, that an iPad replaces a laptop for mobile use. Too limited and if you need to type then you are stuck carrying a keyboard.

Have a great birthday David! Maybe you should slip a little booze into your green drink to celebrate. Cheers!

Wow, that's a whole lotta live shows on vinyl. Have a you heard any yet?

I am also a Bitters, Old Man.

They were so much more disciplined about taking listening notes back then!

I thought you would, although I expected to be chided for not sticking with my initial instinct in the first pic.

OK, this was yesterday, but my Father's Day got off to a good start with the king of cured meats. Actually, I wasn't such a bacon hog and made a proper sourdough waffle BLT and it was awesome. A little bacon on the side, of course. but more restrained and refined.

Happy [belated] father's day Head-Case. I posted this in the "listening through" thread yesterday instead of "listening to".

Scooter as in scooter? Watch out Manhattan!
