  1. When the Countess and I left, it was three times a week. Listen to Sunday night teaching Rehash SNT Rehash the hash, and remind people to come next Sunday George
  2. You haven't heard my saxophone playing yet... George
  3. Correct, Caped Crusader! For those who haven't seen it, "The Dark Knight" was well done, but definitely not the "feel-good movie of the summer." See it, but don't bring the kids. George
  4. Sounds like a unification strategy to ME! :D Of course, it's not a very ORIGINAL one. George
  5. I believe you've seen it, but you may need actually to GIVE THE TITLE for the less-well-informed. :D George
  6. I though you were supposed to DANCE! I might bring a saxophone or two. George
  7. <<BUMP>> C'mon, Sudo! Post a good one. It's been a while. George
  8. It was, indeed, a fine movie. I saw it on cable a few months ago. Hard to beat Michael Caine and Robert Duvall! If you've seen this movie, you'll remember this line: "First, a magic trick. I'm going to make this pencil disappear." George
  9. I remember a scene in the James Bond movie "Licence to Kill" where Wayne Newton, playing a scam-artist preacher, gets his head handed to him by Carey Lowell, to which he responds, "Bless your heart!" In context, it seemed to mean "Screw you!" George
  10. The Countess and I moved 40 miles closer just for this reason. How about it, Ex10? Your place? (Our new home is larger than our old one, but our yard and "patio" are pretty small; otherwise, we'd volunteer.) George
  11. The local BC got tired of me thinking all the time and called one of those drumhead meetings where your TC, assistant TC, wives, etc., sit around while the BC makes accusations and then "fires" you. Since the Countess-to-be and I had just gotten engaged, she and her TC, etc. were there, too. She was given 24 hours to decide whether she would stay with me or with TWI. I left, frightened and confused; Lucy just left mad. Of course, later, I had one of those "esprit d'escalier" moments: "Boy, I should have said this and this and THIS!" But, Lucy and I were beyond that. Was there any impact from our departure? Probably not much. At least one couple missed us, though. The wife said, "I wonder how George and Lucy are doing" in fellowship, at which point another "believer" said "Who gives a f###?" The woman said, "I do!" and left. We left in 1997. About two years ago, one of my old TC's called, trying to see if I would come back to TWI. Sorry, Dude, but thanks for thinking of me! George
  12. Steve!'s had his chance to chime in. I'm quite certain you're correct, Maddy, so have at it! George
  13. So... Rafaella? Rafellina? Rafetta? :) Congratulations, my friend! I guess that there will be none of THIS, however... George
  14. When I was in graduate school (almost three decades ago, now :o ) Prof, Harry Gray from CalTech gave a seminar on advances in solar cells. Some "greenies" in the audience asked him if he thought the US should abandon oil and go to solar power. His reply was "It should be obvious by now that we need everything we can get." Things haven't changed much. George
  15. "You make each day a special day. You know how, by just your being you. There's only one person in this whole world like you. And people can like you exactly as you are." "Oh, Nurse Miller, well how in the world are you?" "I'm just fine, X, but the real question is how in the world are YOU? You're the one who got hit with that teeny tiny hard ball." "That's for sure." George
  16. HAVE A GREAT ONE, MY SUPER-FRIEND! George
