  1. Hey Steve... come on back in... drinks are on me tonight...

    i think i will. i could use a free drink, tomorrow i have to pay my expensive california rent.

    Ugh, that reminds me, property taxes are due on the 10th. No drinks for me, they're already giving me a stiff one...

  2. Somewhere between 5W and 500W, depending on what your interests are. Both extremes are represented here, as well as the "I don't care, I just play the music" viewpoint, in which case any old amp will do. "Driven properly" has to have some context. Trying to recreate a ballpark rock concert? Trying to elicit the maximum detail, texture and nuance? Those will require different amps.

    Mark, I hate to disagree with someone with your knowledge and experience, but I seem to be getting lots of detail, texture and nuance with my pair of Class D power amps, with enough headroom for arena rock volume when I feel the need. Big Smile

    Well, Pat, maybe you're not an audiophile! Have you ever considered that? Huh??!

  3. Who likes wine? The winery my nephew works for (Kosta Browne) just won Wine Spectator's Wine of the Year for their 2009 Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir!


    Thats an amazing accomplishment!!! Got to see if I can order some while still available. What does your nephew do for them?

    Good luck getting any of that wine! Apparently they've sold out, and have a waiting list of 15,000! We were fortunate enough to have a taste of it at a family dinner a few weeks back. My nephew's title is "Director of Brand Management and Public Relations." Whew! Good kid. Taught him everything he knows. [;)]

  4. Fini i hope the bone cracker does some good--Ben best wished for Alea's improvement as well. Maybe if she does some shots of Blenheim whenever she feels a migrane coming on?

    I caught a gimpse of what he was doing to me in the reflection in the window. I'm a really big guy (6'4", 350#!), and the doctor is probably 6'2"", 175#. He was literally flying onto my back and planking. This must have been quite a sight for folks walking down the street. I imagine it looked like he was either dry-humping me, or we were practicing for an acrobatic act. Or both.

  5. Clipped & Shorn? He's been busy the last couple years hidden away in his painting/editing studio. He'll be putting on a film show next Saturday 11/12 in the tiny California town of Occidental. The program will consist of reels and films shot 35 years ago, when the artist Christo constructed his 24.5 mile long Running Fence through Sonoma and Marin counties. Here's a blurb about it.

    Here's another film of his, completed in the last year. Jazz afficianatos will love the rare soundtrack. Be prepared for some of the most amazing hand-painted film images...
