Did you have a good sleep Rip, err, I mean Bruce

I didn't find that list terribly enlightening.

Can't say it was that bad in NWestern NJ. We probably had about 4 to 5 inches. Plowguy came this morning and moved almost all of it. I took care of the rest.

Heard she had a coronary. Pity to die at such a young age.

I wonder if the states that are the happiest rank low in average time spent with a therapist

I was going to say that it's related to climate but that's not the case at all. Also interesting that the tristate area (NY, NJ, Conn) come in dead last. I'm ready to move.

Just started Pete Fornatele's Return to the Garden, about Woodstock.

I used to collect them (O Gauge) and had a layout. Trouble was I didn't have a lot of room and you need a lot of room for a decent layout. It's a great hobby and the trains they make today are amazing. When I was interested in the hobby, Neil Young was one of the owners of Lionel. Don't know if he still is.

It's about to start here in NW Jersey.

Does she like gardening? If so, a gift certificate to a gardening place might be good. Even though yousaid you've done the kitchen thing, how about a blender. That's what I'm getting for mine, one from Kitchen Aid.

I like soul jazz but never cared for him. I think he's been discussed extensively here if you do a search.

I thought might be about the best beach spots. We go to south jersey ourselves, Cape May. Love it.

I also have the big box, one of the best things I own. However, the new set is good for those who don't have the large one.

I'm having trouble with links. If I try to insert one using the shortcut in the menu, it doesn't work. I've had to resort to pasting the link directly into a post. Any ideas?

Aw, c'mon, who doesn't love Rudolph: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py0dsLH9Zck

Usually a cheeseburger, nothing fancy. Man, you're getting me hungry and I just had a late lunch!

I have to go with the Onyx Club. They were really on fire. I also happen to like the Birdland material quite a bit. Has anyone ever done White Christmas like Bird?

No offense but Philly, just like any other team, probably had a budget; I think even the Yankees do. Can you seriously tell me that Halladay is not an upgrade over Lee. I think you guys should be really happy that you got him. Apparently, he really wanted to be with the Phillies and he wasn't looking to bust the budget. They knew they could reasonably negotiate with him and they weren't sure about Lee. The only down side was getting rid of Drabek but guys like Halladay don't come around often and you surely didn't want the New York teams or the Red Sox to get him did you?

I don't have much sympathy for him.

Meat loaf and noodles tonight. Not bad. No complaints.

Done! Thanks Jim.

Nice looking guitar Lon; I like that kind of wood.

I just picked up a used box set of Buffalo Springfield put out by Rhino (unfortunately no longer available generally) and have to back off what I said about them (he says sheephishly) . I'm enjoying it

When I was in my first year of law school, above my girlfriend's apartment, another student and his wife used to pretty noisy. Then one day, she had some friends over and while we were watching Saturday Night Live, and we heard them going at it, a bunch of us started laughing and couldn't stop and I guess they heard us because for awhile after that they wouldn't look at us

That's good to hear Bertrand. Getting rid of duplicates can be an annyoyance.
