I had friends over. Like my college pal from Dartmouth who wrote music
for the Dating Game, and we discussed tapping all the Catholic chicks
in Kansas, and getting paid with free beer samples while working at a
brewery while in high school. Yes. reflecting back on the good 'ol
days during the holidays. There's nothing like them.

I'm a happy boy. Grandkids coming to stay for a week, so maybe it will be
warm enough to take them out fishing. Good food, good friends, family.

Hope yours was good, and we all get to do some boating while we're still
young, healthy, and have a few shekels to do it. Do it till you can't
because for one reason or the other, one day you can't.

God Bless

Steve

Yup, do it while you can.

Really? *Awesome.

I wish I had a Zimmerman-like lobster boat and an honorary Yale
degree.

You CAN. You just lie about it.

Now why would I want to do that? It seems to me that owning a
Zimmerman-like lobster boat and honrary Yale degree would be pretty
neat, but I wouldn't have to make it up to brag about it if I didn't
right?

To cold and windy for boating the last few days. Did take a big boat over
to Alcatraz for a night time tour yesterday. Power out this morning, blown
transformer down the street.

No, it was in San Francisco!

Someone here was compelled to do just that and it was only the "tip of
