    I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it. Thomas Jefferson.

    SAS Championship Photo

    Was shooting over lunch at the SAS Championship today. When I looked at my shots, I thought that this one of Curtis Strange looked particularly good.

    Yellowstone

    Wow, what a trip. Beautiful shots. The gold/brown tones and the light in the waterfall shot is stunning.

    Above ground pools?

    I don't have a pool but through friends I hear a lot about salt water pools being easier to manage and better than chlorine pools. Are you planning on salt water or chlorine? Bob

    Boston over July 4th

    We went to Boston over July 4th to visit our son. Boston is one of my favorite cities. Great public transportation, a wonderful walking city and all that history...Took a ferry to Salem, which was fun.

    It's All Happening At The Zoo

    My son lives in Cincinnati. We made our first trip to visit him about a month ago and went to the Cincinnati Zoo. It was a beautiful sunny 75 degree day. You've got to love the zoo...We also visited the National Museum of the US Air Force in Dayton. It's a must see if you have interest in...

    American Idol - Season 10

    Idol's always been part talent contest and part popularity contest. Pia did not create/attract a niche group of supporters that vote. If there were a million guys with a million drinks swooning over Pia, those guys don't call into Idol. Unless you as a contestant carve out some part of the...

    Is the Forum on Life Support???

    I also think that Home Theater has lost a lot of the mystique, therefore interest, as it's gone mainstream. I view it as similar to the hey day of big stereo systems. Back in the day when you had pre-amps and amps and sophisticated receivers it was a lot more interesting. Tower speakers vs...

    NFL 2010 Regular Season Discussion Thread

    Two great football teams with incredible history behind them. Yesterday the Green Bay Packers executed their game better than the Steelers. It was a fun game to watch with two awesome quarterbacks. I would have loved to have seen Bart Starr carry the Lombardi trophy up to the podium.

    Raleigh NC's First Christmas Snowfall

    LOL, it's not exactly my backyard, but it's walking distance. It was the snow that started in Raleigh/Cary at 8 PM December 25th. It was a perfect snow photo op. The snow clung to everything and had that magical quality about it. My 3 sons and I went out on the afternoon of the 26th to roam...

    Help with birthday present

    I ordered the Nikon D3100 with the 18-55mm AF VR kit lens and 55-200mm AF VR lens for $759.90 from B&H Photo (deal ends tomorrow and they keep running out of D3100 stock). I wanted a small light weight DSLR for everyday use. The price for the camera and both lens is so low that if I decided down...

    Saturday Night Live Season36

    Jay Pharoah and the Macy's return skit was pretty good. Jay did a very good Denzel impression. He shows some promise.

    Has tv lost its heart?

    The best TV shows reflect the current or recent past cultural events. Hogan's Hero's was a great spoof on WW II, Rat Patrol (entertaining and action oriented), Combat (executed incredibly well to help understand WW II from the soldiers perspective), etc. The cold war gave us Get Smart, Rocky...

    TV decision - Got it narrowed down here:

    Josh, I've had a 50in 720p Panny Plasma for 2+ years now and it still wows me every time I turn it on. I've had no problem with screen burn and I haven't seen noticeable decrease in contrast/black levels. It's one of the most satisfying purchases I've made. I did make sure when I first...

    Melissa and Joey - season 1 thread

    I laugh through every episode. I think it's one of the better new shows this season. It's on my DVR list.

    Glee season 2 thread

    I thought it was overall another entertaining episode. I think I like the fact that its different than most other series. I did cringe at the dentist giving every student who walked into his office general anesthesia. Wrong message there. I also think Artie's number with the football team was a...

    Lindsay Lohan

    Whether alcohol addiction or drug addiction (or any other addiction) is a "disease" is certainly open for question and has been and probably will continue to be debated for years. There are valid points to be made on both sides. Clearly someone with cancer, heart disease or any number of...

    New Nikons (but no new full frame, yet!)

    Nikon seems to have positioned the D7000 very nicely in terms of function, robustness and price. They made it very hard to find much fault with it and nice enough to lure D90 owners into an upgrade. Impressive.

    I've got Plantar Fasciitis!

    Bare footed. I do think wearing the flat deck shoes too much contributed to my problem. I went back to good quality tie shoes that had good arch support and some cushion in the heel. I still do exercises to keep stretching that tendon in the foot a couple times a week, but have never had any...

    I've got Plantar Fasciitis!

    I had a bad case years ago. I stood on a stair with my heel hanging over and lifted my body weight with my toes and front of my feet. Did this 30 or 40x 2 or 3 times a day. Cleared it up and never had a problem since. Oh, I should add that I was wearing deck(boat) shoes a lot at the time. I...

    Bondo for teeth, any dentists out there?

    Dental insurance really is a bit of a toss up. I'm a fan of inlays/onlays rather that crowns when possible. They cost about the same as a crown but preserve most of the tooth.

    Hellcats - season 1

    OK, I admit I watched Hellcats as well. Not a bad first show. Alyson Michalka, all I can say is wow.

    was there witchcraft at Salem Village in 1692 ?

    I don't know if witchcraft existed in Salem in 1692, but it most certainly existed at the Capitol Record Studio in the late 50's. Just ask Ol' Blue Eyes.

    The better of the two lens kits?

    A month or so ago I was ready to pull the trigger on the DS5000 with 2 kit lens (18-55VR and 55-200VR). Why, because Nikon was offering dealers $150 rebates so B&H was selling that package for $809. That was so cheap that I figured I'd use the 2 kit lens until I could upgrade. Ideally I'd like...

    Hot in Cleveland Season 1

    Not a great show but certainly an entertaining one. At least it's not a hospital or crime show. I've had my full of them. This is like old school situation comedy, which isn't bad.

    My dog has been put to sleep

    Our 10 year old Cockapoo has been battling kidney disease for half his life. He's on a special diet, two blood pressure meds and Maalox. He continues to do well, but it's a progressive disease (and it is worsening). At this point he's a happy dog. When we talk to our Vet, that's what we talk...
