You wanna talk about jumping the shark?

Old school: great

New school: *grits teeth and winces*

I honestly don't know how I feel about being back.

A part of me didn't want to come back at all.

The mods here seem pretty fair. But the posters here are fair.

Yeah, this was the season in which I finally quit watching. (For now. I've been watching it off and on since 1997.)

They're finally censoring it. End of an era.

Uhm. Can I still just call him Andy?

Only in private. It apparently causes confusion here. j/k

in southern proper, Mr. Andrew would be apropos (you being the elder statesman) ...

Serious question, are you into wood making?

I only trust the Akashic Record. And only with a couple of Glenfiddich 18 year old single malts. You have to be relaxed to face the truth.

Sorry, I'm into reading about wood making, lol. I find it fascinating. But I have never taken the plunge myself.

My hobbies include extensive US travel, target shooting, reading, and food and drink (regional specialties).

Until recently, I played a lot of golf all over the country, but I finally retired. My sister is trying to talk me into taking up pickleball, and I am considering taking up foot golf, since there is a course 2 blocks from my house.

oh, my ... now you're just braggin' ... I would, too ... it's been a minute since I had the 12 yr. old version ... Glenlivet was my go-to when in the single malt mood ... any blended can KMA!!! ... #vanilla

fwiw, just passed the year/2 mark ... day 185 ...

and trips, I wish I could post the latest pic of pops at the wellness center in his Parkinson's battery-operated chair swatting the pickle ball ... he gave up golf for tennis when I started to play in the wayback - then pickleball - now he can only drop it and swat to the wall ... I take him every Sat. ... the caregivers take care of the weekdays...

I wasn't making fun. I have some African mahogany wood that came out of a 1958 Skipper Craft boat that was made on Vashon Island, Wa. I've had it stored for probably 25 years. Everything but the hull.

I didn't think you were making fun.

That's impressive. Any plans for what to do with it?

That's very cool, stink. A bunch of us oldies but goodies are dying with our boots on. No sissies here.

Only if you sing his Hymn: "Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me..."

Well, it's been almost 5 hours, and I don't think JR has been hit by lightning yet.

Ironically, I used to sing professionally in my younger days, especially a lot of Gospel songs. That was one of them.

Nobody ever knew I was singing about myself. j/k j/k j/k (I hope that's enough, lol)
