  1. I follow some spirits auctions and I am already seeing a softening of pricing there. The relatively current releases of the BTAC bottles are running at about $400 - $500 which is about 25% lower than in previous years. Not saying this is reasonable yet, but some of the shine has definitely worn off.
  2. That's the thinking. I suppose the Colts playoff game score would have been 35 to 0 at halftime if they had the roof open.
  3. I hate Illinois Nazis
  4. "Why would anyone come here if they had a pony? Who leaves a country packed with ponies to come to a non-pony country?"
  5. Did this around Italy, and also did a Silversea in the Baltic. These are nothing like the Carnival Wal-Mart ships. They are much more expensive though unless you can find a special (and are then only about 3x a Carnival cruise). I recall when checking in for our Baltic trip the dude next to me (later found out he and his family were taking a year off to travel around the world) was sporting a nice Lange Tourbillon; not your typical cruising crowd.
  6. Prime strip tonight. Oven until 122 then 1 min sear, flip, 1 min, flip, min, flip (total of four min). Perfect. Served with a baker and roasted broccoli.
  7. You have to eat to know what ribs taste like.
  8. Look around Sea Isle. Some affordable rentals, he beach doesn’t allow cars so it’s much more civilized. We’ve gotten a place for the 4th and I think we’re paying just over $400 a night.
  9. Um, no Ja Nee.
  10. Ohh, there's more gold. Thanks for the tips lady:
  11. I've not really looked into it, but it's got to be a joke right?
  12. Old news, but still highly entertaining. I always enjoy the nine gallons of bourbon she puts in the drink.
  13. Airline class lingo: F = First J = Business Y = Coach
  14. No gimme here.
  15. Maldives or Seychelles?
  16. Lots of good memories at P&P. Oh well, times change. As for new places, we went to 1751 (something something) that used to be Star Fish. We thought it was great. Good service, food was excellent, and they don’t rape you on wine prices. I has the amberjack seared with a side of their broccoli. Wife had the green curry shrimp. Both were excellently done. We went for a quick dinner before a movie and I am looking forward to going back when we have more time to try out some other dishes.
  17. I would also do R'evolution over Arnaud's. The French 75 bar was great and the atmosphere was as expected, but the food was meh.
  18. Amazon Air https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Air
  19. More like “please God don’t let it be Fertitta.”
  20. If there is one thing in this world I would trust it would be the ability of the Soviets to admit a mistake and accurately report fatalities.
