Dan hasn't posted for a while and somebody asked me if he's OK. If somebody's in contact with him, would you ask him to stop by and say something in this thread?
The email address on his registration no longer works, so I couldn't contact him that way.
Thanks.

I missed the opportunity to by a good (Timex guts, I think) fake Rolex when I was in Korea the first time. The second time I was there, law enforcement was cracking down on counterfitters...because somebody might be fooled by a Rolex that ticked. As I recall, the fakes were $15.

Olddude,
I shall never forget your daughter, the bride, with the bridesmaid,
saying goodbye to the dying Labrador Retriever in those photos.

So that was a little while ago:
how is your daughter -- a veterinarian, did you say?
and how are her household on two legs or four?
If it's not imposing to ask?

Yo, Dan. Glad to hear your movements have been regular.

Gonna watch the Pro-Bowl tomorrow? Me neither. I'll have it on but I'll be cooking a roast chicken dinner with all the fixin's so I might miss some. But, come next Sunday, I will open the bed chest early in the day and don that Jersey... and tee and hat and hoody. I will be READY FOR SOME!

If yer goin' to The Show, be sure to wave to the camera when they zoom in. I'll be waving back.

GO PATS!

old - This is a true story relative to your story about your niece named for "the sheets."

50 years ago my wife's and my neighbors were a brace of bachelor ladies in the apartment above us. Their respective names were Esther and Polly. I guess you can figure out the conjoined name we gave them.

PS - Saturday Feb. 3 is our Golden Wedding Anniversary. Hoodathunk back then...

Well, I was chatting with Dan after the conference finals and he figures nobody can beat Brady. The Pats are my team and have been since I was a boy (long time ago). But, I disagree. I say, nobody can beat Belichick if his team is healthy.

Come Sunday morn, I will transform back into that young boy, put on my Pats tee, hat, signed #12 jersey (thanks again, Dan), and hoody. I'll get the wings, ribs, chips, beer, and order Vito's pizza an hour before game time, settle in, and email Dan every time the refs make a bad call. That is, after I stop screaming at the refs, of course. I am sure they will hear me all the way from NB.ca. >;-)

GO PATS!

Hey, Olddude, been wondering where you are. At my age, when someone disappears I get concerned. I'm afraid my "sell by date" is near.

I still have fun with the ageing process though. some time ago an interviewer came right out and asked me how old I am. When I said, "The year I was born, the Dead Sea wasn't even sick yet." All I got was a blank stare.
What do people who have no sense of humor think about?
Another time the interviewer was a young woman about 25, she asked me what I notice most as I age, ,I replied, "Let me put it this way, when I was your age, I thought about sex all the time. Now in my 60s the only time I think about sex is when I'm awake."

Blank stare.

Stunted humour buds, Kendall - that's the problem.

I was in conversation with a young journalist a few years ago, and was asked about my love of music. My remark was, "Making music is the most fun you can have with your clothes on - mind you, these days, it's the most fun I can have with my clothes off..."

Puzzled look from journalist...

I gave a purty good fake Heuer to my local rummage sale a couple of weeks back.
If I want the exact time, I'll go to WWV but doesn't look cool on my wrist.
Came up with a Wittnauer a couple of weeks ago. It had a tag from ATT&T on it. Early electric analog type. A little research found out that the company was giving them to those with 25years of service. Some of the people in my amateur radio club [largely Bell Labs retirees] noticed it. They had retired from the company after it was broken up and after the program was dicontinued.
