But, things could be worse. Lots of other folks in this country and world who have it much worse than me. I guess the Good Lord is watching over me somewhat. Plus, I have a fantastic wife of 54 yrs, 3 sons, 3 grandsons that make everything worthwhile. Now, on to 77.

Happy belated Birthday, Jim.
Glad to see you're still making it onto the board.

Thanks for the recommendation Jim, I will put it on hold. I love love Paul Newman and especially George Roy Hill. The Sting, Slap Shot and Butch Cassidy are ALL TIME GREAT movies.JimIsJustPlainOld wrote: ↑Sun Jul 09, 2023 7:40 pmHey, Wiz. You want to read a really good Making Of book? See if you can get The Making Of Slap Shot. Can't recall who wrote it, but it is very good. At least I thought so.Wizard of Corsica wrote: ↑Sat Jul 08, 2023 11:11 am Oh, and I'm also right now going to jog to the downtown branch of Chicago Public Library to pick up a book about the making of Caddyshack. Written by Chris Nashataway.
I will follow up with my review.
Many, many happy returns as well mon frere!
It was my understanding there would be no math in the debates.
The woke mind virus consists of creating very divisive identity politics, amplifies racism, amplifies sexism and all of the -isms while claiming to do the opposite. It actually divides people and makes them hate each other and hate themselves--Musk
