You might want to get a mix of biscuits and cornbead to wash down all that beer.

I think you need some hobbies. You don't have near enough to do.

Steve said...

A toast to you, my friend. You ARE a busy man. Look forward to reading your blogs, though. I see some empty space at lunchtime. Just go with a glucose drip and stay at your desk and blog.

What??? I was not invited to the blogger lunch!

Hey, is Rick wearing a Sun Microsystems t-shirt? Geek alert! :o)

Actually, I work on their servers. Hi-tech stuff. Very cool. In fact, that's what I was doing during the luncheon.

Nice photo. You guys look great!

Alan said...

One word, friend: Simplify. I've missed your blog. Where was that blogger luncheon, Cracker Barrel?

George said...

Yes, it WAS at Cracker Barrel. After eating we bought corn cob pipes, ole timey candies, and CD's of bluegrass music from the 1950's. Good times.
