Less than five hours before the season premier.

72! Unbelievable. Aside from it being really breezy it could not have been any nicer. I've got the windows open.

Great article! I had no idea he was living in Baldwin. Love the those pics and the vintage golf clubs behind him in the second photo. At 81 the guy still plays his ass off. I think I'll help him celebrate his birthday and check out the Vanguard gig next week. It's the least I can do.

Ted Nugent wrote a song in your honor years ago, so I'll just have a drink tonight in celebration of this joyous occasion. It's questionable though if this chick will be drinking with me.

I was thinking the same thing earlier. New job perhaps?

Yes. it's catesta's fault. I also get a request for cookies from esounds (which is WD45's fault). Request for cookies? Are you sure it's not this guy's fault?

As usual, you have all the answers.

Conrad did you post a pic of the Lincoln?

Or, just further north.

If you feed them you'll never get rid of them. Wait, that's the rule for stray cats and dogs isn't it? I see Dmitry's point, but I would probably not do anything at this time. If you're uncomfortable with the kids hanging around, talk to your neighbor about it first. If a problem does exists after that, then by all means do what you have to do. As for the being hungry end of it. That's tough. If it was me I would make some lasagna or something and bring it over to the house. If the lady is in need I'm sure she would appreciate it. If not, she'll probably still appreciate it.

I had no idea he had a bit part in the Shaft re-make they did a few years back. R.I.P.

A very important birthday indeed. Thanks to all that make this place so much fun. Cheers!

The local news just said that things look so bad that his family is going to take him off of life support tonight. Very sad. The guy is only 44.

The Mets are looking real good on paper.

I've got an assorted variety of posters and framed pics in my living room. I still have yet to hang them all since the move. Currently my walls are graced with.... Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Coltrane, Dizzy, Bird, Max Roach, Erroll Garner, Ella, Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Sinatra, Johnny Hodges, Armstrong, Dexter Gordon, and the big 1958 Harlem poster. My favorite though is a set of Columbia press photos of Ellington I bought a few years ago. Various pictures of Duke with the entire band, plus Count Basie, Mahalia Jackson, Billy Strayhorn, Johnny Hodges,James Stewart and some of Duke alone.

Inside of a week now.

Happy Birthday!

Can't wait for the weekend. Temps may exceed the upper 50s and cruise right up into the 60s.

Good question.
