4. Do you see things differently now

I guess you have learned a lot of things hanging out at DU. Do you see the world in a different way now that you have experienced DU for so long?

[Old and In the Way]

11. Yes!

The more I learn, the less I know.....

Old nor in the way.

Thanks Great Aunt of Trips!

19. Aren't we all????

In Catholic grade school, I was taught that we start dying the day we were born. Isn't that a refreshing thought????

[Old and In the Way]

21. One of the many happy thoughts they beat into us................

Amazing I kept my sanity after the Sisters of Mercy got a hold of me.

:-)

[Old and In the Way]

18. Thanks Lydia!

And I always enjoy reading what you have to see here, too!

[Old and In the Way]

23. Well, you gave me heads up a couple of days ago!

10,000 posts and my 1st warning in the same week....I'm overwhelmed!

[Bundbuster]

24. I'll have 10,000 posts in 2021

Will we have a World Series by then?

(thousands of these were printed pre-maturely)

[Old and In the Way]

29. Another "collector's" item.

I'm resigned to never seeing them win the WS.....I'm preparing my kids as well.

BTW, I was at the Cask and Flagon the night Fisk and Carbo HR'd - that, IMHO, is the greatest single WS game ever played! :-)

[Bundbuster]

30. Ahh...Fisk's home run, I agree

I tried to get a ticket but couldn't...by the time he hit that (in the 10th inning?) I was 5 sheets to the wind in a Boston bar too. Pretty hard to beat that game for buildup (delayed several days by weather) and drama.

This picture of my newbie nephew was taken the night of this year's Grady Little debacle. Fortunately I moved to Colorado 33 years ago - distance eases the pain.

[newyawker99]

36. Awww!! He is a cutie Bundbuster.

:-)

[latebloomer]

38. I once kissed Carlton Fisk

in the Eliot Lounge. Damn, he was cute!!

I'm not much into sports but the excellent views made me a Red Sox fan for several years in the Seventies.

[newyawker99]

35. LOL! Congrats again!

:-)

[Karenina]

25. WOOOHOOOOO!!!

That's a WHOLE LOTTA POSTS! :toast: CONGRATULATIONS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!! Didj'all get my snail mail?

[Old and In the Way]

27. Thanks Karenina!

Was that your music CD? It was awesome! We listened to it this PM....I hear we owe you a CD of our daughter's bluegrass band....truth be told, I think we'll be getting the better part of the deal LOL.

Danke Schoen!

[latebloomer]

26. Cool, man!

Love your posts, and your moniker rocks!

How old ARE you, anyway?

[Old and In the Way]

28. Thanks Latebloomer

Yes, I think my namesakes invented the Bluegrass Rock and Roll genre. If you can find "BlueGrass Breakdown", check it out.....that's my idea of dawg music!

As to age...see above!

[maxanne]

31. high five

Old and in the Way!

I'm always happy to read your posts. Someday we must talk about our Jackson connection. :D :party:

[Old and In the Way]

32. Thanks!

I will most definitely be up there at some point in January....maybe I'll "run into" you up at Cranmore or Wildcat!

[maxanne]

43. send me a pm

when you're coming up - I'll meet you at the Bistro in Jackson for coffee. I don't think I'll be skiing much in January - I have a heavy work load.
