Cruising is for the newly wed and the nearly dead. But seriously, if you have the chance to go on an ultra-luxury line like Seabourn or Crystal do it. Every cabin a suite and every room gets their own butler.

Local sportswriters here in L.A. are seriously contemplating an 0-12 season for UCLA. New acting head coach and offensive and defensive coordinators. Penn St. could lay 70 on them. Average attendance at the Rose Bowl is around 32,000 this year. Capacity is 100,000. It could be a red out...

Happy Birthday from one old fart to another! Keep on keepin' on.

That's really funny and accurate. When I spent my junior year abroad in Hong Kong, all 10 of us Americans were given Chinese names which were made up because our real names just didn't make any sense to the Chinese. What was really funny was the names they gave the girls. Chinese like flower...

No. Those 11 am games are 9 am games out here in SoCal and it is unnatural to watch football at 9 am especially after a tough Friday night.

That was wonderful and a lot of truth in there disguised as humor. "Why do you wave at every car? Because in Nebraska you might be cousins." When I was 12 I went to a family reunion in Grand Island at some city park. There were over 500 people there and I knew about a dozen of them but was...

We refuse to give one penny to that country as long as they have their current government. My wife is Vietnamese and her family lost everything when the country fell. I spent 26 months in-country from 1969-1971 in the Mekong Delta as an Intelligence Advisor. I was there again in 1974 during...

Bangkok is arguably the most cosmopolitan city in the world. Any kind of Asian food is available but they also have very high end Western restaurants. Several years ago we were there on Bastille Day, July14th which functions as France's 4th of July Independence Day, and my wife who grew up as...

Our go to after closing the bars at 2 AM was The Village Inn Pancake House on West Dodge. We liked to think of it as an upscale Waffle House which serves that role in the South. True story, I can't recall ever having been in a Waffle House sober.

I am so fascinated by state liquor laws. My brother lives in Franklin, TN, a very upscale suburb of Nashville. Until recently, they had some of the dumbest laws ever which have recently been amended. You could buy beer in a supermarket but no wine or liquor. They have liquor stores where you...

Back in 1995 I was selected for an attempted murder trial in Orange County Superior Court in Santa Ana. 22 year old gang member from Fullerton stuck a steak knife into the chest of a rival gang member. Blade hit the sternum and broke off or we'd have had a murder trial. Dragged on for 2 weeks...

I was part of a corporate merger between 2 giant companies with three corporate headquarters, one in the UK and 2 in the US, that had been competitors. All of a sudden we were supposed to love each other hence the corporate slogan of "One company 3 campuses". Among the employees it was "One...

Happy to report that the entire 2401 page MLPFC thread on tMB made it over to the new ON3 tMB. Preserved for posterity. The IT guys at ON3 probably looked at it, realized it was the longest thread on the old board and said, well it's kinda weird but we better save it lol.

Awesome. All the best to your family.
