  1. Drink on the beach in the rain. It's funny, we've been going to Port A since the 70's. In the summer time when we go down, we've had wet years, dry years, windy years, calm years, hot years, hurricane years, beach tar years, sargasso years, mosquito years, shark years, man-o-war years, etc. Waiting for the cold year in July.
  2. The University is not petty and cheap. If there was sufficient reason to fire him for cause it would already be in the public eye. They can't be petty and cheap and attract the next guy (in baseball, track, basketball, etc). There are always legal hoops to jump through for paying out a lump sum and that stuff takes time to get everyone on board with.

    Colonoscopy

    Good luck, we're all counting on you.
  4. My Rainier didn’t look like that when we were there last September. Actually it probably did look like that, we just couldn’t see it in the rain.
  5. I wanted to do Vail pass so bad when I lived in Denver, but wife, small kids, etc. never had time.
  6. Agree that Speith’s game approach is more interesting. He’s more likely to hole it out of the green side bunker for birdie. Scottie’s more likely to sink a 6 ft putt for birdie (or hole it from the fairway).
  7. Scottie should be OK at Pinehurst because he hits it into the fairway which I’m told is easier to hit the second shot from than where I normally play from (the creek bottom, the trees, the cart path etc.).
  8. Love me some Mentone.
  9. Sorry for your misfortune.
  10. he's got some shiftiness side to side. They like to run the touchdown play at that school.
  11. Sounds legit. Let’s go for a rocket ride.
  12. It’s funny about French lunches. A colleague and I were in a smaller French city some years ago where we were negotiating a large technical equipment sale for several days. We generally worked through technical details in the morning, had the French 2.5 hour lunch beginning with an aperitif, a different bottle of wine with each course, ending with dessert wine. Then we went back and worked on the commercial portions of the contract in the afternoon. The combination of the lunch coupled with jet lag and we would agree to almost anything we were so fried.
  13. Shoshone Point might be the perfect hike distance. 2.2 miles round trip and 137 ft of elevation. Just right. Thanks for that suggestion.
  14. I’ve seen recommendations for Elote several times and from independent sources. I look at their menu and don’t particularly see anything I can’t get in Houston or Austin. And they don’t have any specific vegan options. I get that the location is different and unique but Southwestern/Mexican is pretty well represented across Texas and New Mexico. What am I missing?
  15. Sark’s always a good listen.
  16. I would have probably been one of those guys earlier in my life.
  17. So far, we booked a guided sunset tour and the IMAX which are later in the day (obvs). If it was just me, I would start with the 12 hour raft trip down the Colorado, followed by the hike up, and camp out on the ledge, but it's not. We can't go anywhere that's more than 30 minutes from a bathroom. So I'm working within those constraints. My brother just came back from GCNP, and said if he had it to do over again, he would go to the bottom. Binoculars is a great tip that I might not have considered, I'll add them to my list. Also looking at a wide angle lens for my camera to see if I can better capture the vista. We'll have a rental car, so will be mobile. Himalayan Grill is a good idea. We like Indian.
  18. That sounds delicious. I’m a carnivore. My wife is the vegan.
  19. Hell yeah, that was a great movie. Sean Young was hot. I meant Less Than Zero of course.
  20. Enjoyed About Last Night the most. No Way out, St Elmo’s Fire also solid Brat Pack.
