Well, Logan, my 23 year-old son who had all sorts of problems growing up and who now works as an auto mechanic, just hit me with a big surprise…. He bought tickets for us to go see the Patriots play the Broncos…. At 6:15pm on December 24th. I’m surprised as hell! That’s here in Denver. I...

Great article in today's Boston Globe. Ricky Williams was in Cambridge helping to open Commonwealth Alternative Care. And to introduce his own brand of weed, Highsman. (play on words... Heisman??) Anyhow, the Globe has a great Q&A interview with him. Probably your best read for today...

So what's happening, @chet and @kardplayer ? I have moved from Boston to Denver. Country Club neighborhood. Working 100% remote in the high net-worth practice of a Chicago CPA firm. I'm happy as a pig in **** right now!! But I miss getting my butt kicked in backgammon. Where have you all...

OK, guys, I thought we already had a thread about this, but I couldn't find it. So tough. I just wanted to tell my fellow FBGs who appreciate a good bottle of wine sealed with a cork to this handy-dandy gadget. I've opened about 20 bottles with this, so far. Very intuitive and very easy to...

I just wanted to say, I sure missed football since last February! And, finally, the season has started. I'm a big-time Patriots fan, but I'm watching the Rams and the Bills tonight. Hoping the Rams can pull it off, but it's not looking good for them right now.

This popped up in my playlist and I just couldn't help myself.  Rock on, GB!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTqTE7aNjZQ&list=RDMM&start_radio=1&rv=aJ3xpTT7j4M

Check it out....  US Coast Guard rescue diver is lowered from helicopter into the raging rapids of the Niagara River to rescue a 60 year-old woman trapped inside her car.  He managed to get her, but too late. :(   But where do they get these guys from to do this kind of job?  I imagine it must...

So I'm holding a treasurer's check, made payable to me, in the amount of $30,000.  I thought that might get your attention.  My youngest daughter is going to University of California Santa Cruz next month.  I guess she was at one of her friend's house last fall....  discussing where they wanted...

I’m seated at the bar at the Hard Rock on the 16th Street Mall. Wearing a blue & white checkered, collared sport shirt. Come on down and identify yourself as a fbg and drinks will be on me. Until 3pm most likely. 

Hah!  I can't believe I'm the first one in with that today.  Somehow it doesn't feel like Easter Sunday.   If anyone is interested, I'll be hanging out at backgammon galaxy this morning.  

I was supposed to go to Amsterdam to chill out for a week today.  I got to the airport only to be informed at the gate that there were travel restrictions in place for travel to the Netherlands and unless I was either a student or had relatives in the Netherlands, that I would not be allowed to...

Massachusetts has early voting starting yesterday and going through the 28th of August.  I was surprised to see the polling stations are open on a Sunday, so I went.  Voting was for the Massachusetts primaries.  I'm a registered independent, so I could choose my ballot, so I got the Democrat...

Current bid presently at $650,000.  Interesting piece.   https://www.fanatics.com/new-england-patriots/robert-krafts-super-bowl-li-championship-ring/t-25931418+p-7076771551985+z-9-2080862138

Long story short, I'm quitting my job effective June 15, 2020.  That's right, @TheIronSheik.  Finally had enough.  Will take the summer off then look for another job.  Probably take a huge pay cut in the process but I'm fed up with what I'm doing now.   Anyhow...  I asked my wife if she wanted...

I’m here at Buffalo Wild Wings in beautiful Burlington, MA.  Ask me anything.  

Her:  I am at Hond [sic] service Me:  Ok. Routine Service or was there some problem?   Her: Inspiration and they check some problem in my car Me:  Ok.  How long have you been there?   Her:  3 hours Me:  Aye aye aye. Me:  That's not just a routine oil change!!  Her:  I can't get the...

After 35+ years in the accounting and finance industry, I'm fed up with it.  I know that whatever I do next, I'm going to take one helluva pay cut...  I'm ok with that.  At this point, I want to do something different, but I haven't nailed that part down just yet.  [I'm thinking of going back to...
