I've got a co-worker vacationing in Cozumel who has been stranded because of Wilma. With any luck, he'll be back this weekend. I wonder how his story compares to yours. Glad you're back. Happy birthday! George

I could have sworn I replied to this around noon. Maybe I hit "back" instead of "add reply." Anyway, Bro Speed is correct. Your turn to post a puzzle. Do you know how to do it? George

You should have invited me!!! George

"After Midnight"? George

Whoa!! Pretty stiff drinks, there!! :blink: George

FINALLY, a pitchers' duel. (Who'd have guessed it would be the fourth-string pitchers?) Apparently, Lidge isn't quite as untouchable as we were led to believe. The Astros acquitted themselves admirably, though (with the exception of Phil Garner ranting about everything but his bad decision-making). George

You guys are weenies. Here's an easy one: George

"Witchy Woman" by the Eagles? George

Lucy and I packed up the vehilcles for our escape from "Rita" and headed out. We came back four days later, and nothing was awry. A couple days afterward, one of the local deputies came by and told us that next time we evacuate, please close the garage!!! :lol: :blink: :lol: The deputy had been kind enough to close our garage AND LOCK OUR BACK DOOR!!! :o Dorks a-plenty when there's a hurricane brewing! George

It's somebody's birthday today!!! Not Ham's though; I missed that one! :D Glad it was a good one, "Old Man." George

I guess the old chestnut about good pitching beating good hitting doesn't describe this Series! George

And while you're at it, how about posting a lyric in "Name that Tune"? George

The first song is definitely Russian, or more correctly, Soviet. The USSR national anthem, perhaps? George

"Remember the Titans"? George

2-0 Sox now. Having spent half my life in Chicago and half in Houston, I don't really have a favorite, alhough I root for the Sox down here to tick everybody else off! I thought that this would be the first seven-game Series with a total of seven runs scored (five of them earned). It may wind up being one of the HIGHEST-scoring Series! George

It appears that the storm is leaving Florida now and should be long gone by tonight. Hang in there, guys (and gals)! George

And it's taken over four days to post a new one. George

Pirate? Your turn! George

Someone might. Not me. :) George

Frankie and the 4 headlined an Oldies show in Houston a few years ago. Still going strong! Enjoy, Excie! George

Glad I got back in time to see this thread. Happy 50th, David! (I'll be joining you soon enough!) George

Well, Wilma stayed away long enough to let me and my brother enjoy the reception and to visit with our Italian cousins. Actually, the weather in Sarasota was pretty fair during the weekend. Now that I'm back, I'm praying that the rest of you avoid any severe unpleasantness. (It appears that the storm will pass quickly through Florida.) George

I can find recordings of Ella doing "Paper Moon"; but none of them seem to be with Benny. George

Hey, Excie! Maybe I'm the only one who read your post and didn't get the impression that you were leaving GS. I just got the impression that you realize that you can't "hide" here. That's true. Hopefully, you can be as straight with people in the "real world" as you are in cyberspace. You do have friends here, though; and you will be missed if you leave. George

It seems now that Wilma won't be visiting Florida until late Sunday or early Monday, so I guess I'll be able to make the reception after all. Present "cones" don't even have tropical storm force winds hitting Florida until maybe Sunday. I'm glad the reception isn't in Cancun! George
