That's not my forte. ;) Sorry, I had to....:geek:

I've been tooling around PA......but at some point I'd love to explore the upper Midwest. I've spent very little time in the area.

Really happy with the Forte so far. One of the benefits of driving the same junk car for years and years is that it's just such a pleasurable experience to finally switch to driving something half decent. :D

Not trying to make a political statement here, but why do I think that this character (posted over in Heads Up . . .) looks like Rudy Giuliani?

Maybe I lack imagination, but I'm thinking Marty Feldman.

Surprisingly my back is intact. It was a short table (restaurant booth).

I should really stop buying watches that take months of waiting before I get to enjoy them.

At least when they arrive it feels like almost like a free watch. I paid for my Vario Trench in November 2020 and received it May 2021.

My daughter was in a pull up this evening getting ready for bed. She came up to me and said, "I dropped a deuce in my pants." I started laughing and my wife just gave me the look.

I imagine it was one of these...

Also, I'm completely with you, that's f'n hilarious. You did the right thing.

I love the kid stories!

My son plays some game that accesses my music library. It's pretty cool to see him flip though and for us to observe what he likes. Well, he hasn't played that game in a while and this weekend the third song (they are in random order) was "One Week" by the Bare Naked Ladies. His jaw dropped and he was like, "What is this?!" and he started sort of jumping up and down. That led to several youtube videos and lyrics searches :lol:.

And yes, my wife has cautioned me that there may be some songs in the library that are not appropriate for a child his age...or any child...and as an adult they probably are not very nice either :? .

Time is impassive, more animal than human. Time would not care if you fell out of it. It would continue on without you. It cannot see you; it has always been blind to the human and the things we do to stave it off, the taxonomies, the cleaning, the arranging, the ordering.

—Lauren Groff

Quoted by James Gleick in his review of About Time: A History of Civilization in Twelve Clocks by David Rooney in The New York Review of Books
