    Super Bowl I could have been a millionaire if

    Wow I could have been a very rich man today if I had listen to my young grandson. He told me the KC Chiefs were going to win the Super Bowl. When I asked why he said their quarterback was smarter than SF. He said KC QB was like him was very smart and could make very good quick decisions. Oh...

    Best way to store sunglasses on the boat?

    Oh so true'. I learnt this the hard way many many years ago when I wrote what I thought was a very bland email. However the recipient did not see it that way. I learned that it is not what you write it is how the receiver will interpret it and that is dependent on so many different factors.

    Best way to store sunglasses on the boat?

    As one who has had melonoma in his eye and had to have eye surgery I strongly urge you all to wear your sunglasses all the time when boating even on cloudy days. I now wear mind out side just about all of the time.

    What are you watching on TV? Favorite Shows? <name the service used>

    HULU now has Freelance with John Cena in the lead. Will it win an academy award no especially if you read the experts. IMO it is not sophisticated enough for them. However IMO it is fun, has plenty of action and even comedy. If you just want to relax not a bad movie to watch. Oh yes the...

    What are you watching on TV? Favorite Shows? <name the service used>

    Claire and I tend to prefer shows that are less serious or at least have some humor in them. So lately we have been watching the Australian series of Fisk. It is funny and off beat about a female probate lawyer. Another good series in our opinion is Extrodinary Attorney Woo. She is autistic...

    Started the replacement boat search after a 3 year hiatus

    I am very glad to hear that your wife is recovering and you will all both be in our prayers for a full and speedy recovery by spring time. "Kind of made us reevaluate our priorities. You hear people say stuff like live now, you don’t know how long you’ve got. But it doesn’t really mean much...

    How is everyone holding up in the Cold Season

    I cook and bake to pass the time away. While baking I can look out at our canal to see what water fouls are swimming and the hat from the oven does make the kitchen warmer. So Sunday I made a six layer chocolate cake with vanilla cream sauce and a ganache topping which I let drizzle down the...

    It is Anniversary Time

    My question to the group is do we go out for our 55th anniversary or do I cook at home. Now we did just come back from a week in Istanbul and a 13 day cruise to Rome. If I cook what do you all recommend. I am thinking a quiet dinner but never know and most likely will not exceed 6 or 8

    I agree season 2 is not as good as the first season. IMO it is due to the story line and the script I think they are both weak. That said I still enjoy it.

    Talk to me about Buffalo, NY

    Congradulations on the new position. You will do fantastic. Regarding the snow. I have a magical snow blower. Yes I said magical. My wife did not want me to shovel snow anymore (not that we ever get that much). So rather than hire someone (no kids in the area) I bought a new one. It is...
