The New Coffee Room

A snowmelter if there ever was one.

In a lot of ways, "birds of a feather."

Symphony No. 1 for Orchestra and Organ, Opus 42 by Felix-Alexandre Guilmant

Paul Jacobs played at the local music hall last week. I never heard of Guilmant before.

Is there any way of bringing gay marriage into this discussion and hitting the trifecta?

I’ve always thought you were gay despite the fact that you’re in a marriage with a woman.

Does that count?

I've always pictured him as a straight guy with a dress or two in the closet. (He's going to get pissed! )

We need to invade Canada and get our nurses back!

Soooo, was he re-elected or un re-elected? I can't figure that out.

They were hit with a double hurricane in November 2024, I wonder if that is related? According to my TARS, it's also because of a perfect storm (no pun intended) of inventory surplus, spikes in insurance rates, and fizzling migrations post-COVID.

All that and it's also because of the Surfside Condo collapse near Miami in 2021. It made almost the entire inventory of high rise condos in Florida worthless. They were almost all poorly engineered, inspected and maintained and now the cost of fixing them is equal to the price of the condo itself.

From my daughter a bit earlier.

I was in Puerto Vallarta a year ago just about now. One of my daughters and her friends planned a week "party with with family" a nice idea, basically. BUT the town was full of old farts drinking, f***ing and wearing the littlest of Speedos. The restaurants were over all very good and lots of cheep liquor, but the ugly American population was a real embarrassment. I felt really bad for the poor Mexican people that have to see what pigs Americans can be.

Actually he was pretty good. Very right place at the right time but he was a real sign of hope for the Black community that they might succeed in national politics. I don't think he would have been a bad President.

If Newsom gets the Democratic nod AOC may have a shot as the next Kamala Harris.

I actually like a pizza a bit overdone (not THAT overdone) it sort of maybe caramelizes the cheese a little. But my wife doesn't like it that way so I never get to have it.

That place would cost a fortune to build today. If it were maybe even double in size it would be quite livable.

This is the second mass-shooting within 10 miles of where I live in as many months. Both of the shooters were apparently domiciled in Florida, although I'm sure that's just a coincidence Tom.

Ha! touchy, touchy, touchy.

"Police identified the shooting suspect as Robert Dorgan, who also goes by the name Roberta."

Cute.

Happy Birthday
Many happy returns.

I want to see that movie.

Yea but that was then. Secretary of Commerce is what? So who does he work for? Cantor Fitzgerald--fine, the US government well then fine too. But you can't work for both at the same time.
