Happy Birthday to Sir Isaac Newton!! 367 years young.... He doesn't
look a day over 350!!

And remember: 367 is the new 325......

Isaac was The Man. Back at the turn of the millenium, some tv
channel convened a world-wide panel of experts to name the 100 most
influential people of the last thousand years. I decided to make my
own list to compare with what the experts had to say. Agreement was
pretty good. I made Newton number one and Guttenberg number two. The
experts said Guttenberg 1, Newton 2.

Amazing... "good egg" and now "ya big lug!"

A good buddy in Texas always calls me "ya big lug".... He tries to
sound like John Wayne... or maybe Jean Arthur. "They'll drum the lug
out of Washington..." Words to tha effect....

Wow, Ray...it somehow feels wrong to welcome Norm back that way. Hell,
he knows where we keep the beer...

Oh, wait, I got it.

Welcome back, Norm--pull up YOUR rock, light up your beer (or take
Hawkins'), and stick around (this time)!

Really, Norm, it is good to see you back in these parts.

I was referring to taking Hawkins' beer. Perhaps I could have phrased
that with more care...

I'm hoping you'll come back from your travels one day and tell us you found
a nice Collings at a rest stop, or that some young GI gave you one because
he didn't want to take it overseas.....

My institutional memory is of a wonderful song circle in a closed down
bar in Cleveland.

Tony,

memory. - Just demonstrating how effective it is.
