Re: going to grad school?

Just curious.... anybody else out there going back to graduate school? I'll never spend another day in a classroom, but when I was 39 years old I quit my job (I was the credit manager at Chase Auto Finance) and went to law school. It was the worst 3 years of my life. :lol: Okay.... somewhat similar...

going to grad school?

Just curious.... anybody else out there going back to graduate school? In my line of work (education) you're more or less required to go back and get additional degrees. I'm now working on my fourth (and last) degree. It's a grind some times, but should be worth it in the end (right?) So far this fa...

Guess where Mac was last night? (And my daughter was there, too!)

This pretty much cracks me up, but it's pretty cool, too. :D Students and fans of Mississippi State University have set a new Guinness World Record. Sights and sounds from MSU's cowbell-ringing record is the headline. Mac McAnally was there to take part and so was my (brand new freshman) daughter. :...

Re: Missing my Buffett fix....help!

While I still consider myself a PH, I haven't been to a show in nearly 3 years. I'm up to 53-55 (I've actually lost track) shows now but my frequency of attendance has definitely gone down with the arrival of little ones. I also moved from Chicago to Charleston, SC, so while I'm definitely living a...

Re: Interesting. I wondery why?

Here's my collection of theories... Although I liked "Songs from St. Somewhere", overall the album is pretty laid back and (in my humble opinion) the songs aren't as concert-friendly (rowdy?) as songs on many of the older albums. I think back to the License to Chill days and the Take the W...

Re: Jimmy and Huey

Okay.... that would be super-cool. And may actually fall within the realm of possibility.

If it happens, make sure to post because I'll want to make sure and get a copy of that show. :D

Re: Sail On, Leonard Nimoy

Mr. Nimoy, As Mr. Spock, you were one of my earliest childhood television memories. Although it probably sounds strange, the character of Mr. Spock showed me an example of calm, courageous duty to country, loyalty to friends, and adherence to facts and their logical conclusions. Thank you for entert...

Re: Does anybody here trade the markets?

Specifically, is anybody here a graduate of "OTA" and is currently trading in equities, forex, futures, and/or options? I'm not a graduate of OTA, but I've messed around with future, options and such. You can make a lot of money quickly, IF you know what you're doing and have serious disc...

Re: This one really for you?????

They just released a video of Jimmy relearning wonder why we ever go home. Which is #64 lol Even Jimmy is trying to salvage this cluster of a contest. They are basically saying drop the yellow album songs and pick some unplayed songs. Isn't going to happen because it's a contest. Free is the worst ...

Okay, just watched the video. That was EXTREMELY COOL. Loved the BN mention and am frankly in awe of the sheer volume of songs available and in awe of how many the band seems to know already. Wow. Just throwing out an additional observation.... going to a Jimmy Buffett concert, it's easy to overlook...

The negativity around never fails to amaze me.

Re: What is Jimmy's best piece of work?

The first half of "A Pirate Looks at 50". It's a great, fun read that (for me) caused some introspection, and I even feel i gained a little wisdom. The latter half of the book (to me) became more of a travelogue. Sounds like a nice trip, but didn't have the same level of storytelling and r...

Re: No concert since 2011 :-(

Well.... I'm very fortunate that funds aren't the issue. Boils down to schedule and locations, and a lack of enthusiasm from my significant other. She goes to the shows, but obviously doesn't enjoy it as much as I do. If she did, we'd find a way. Oh well. Next year, it has to happen... been too long...
