    Probably a little to late because of what MSFS offers, but at least they beat out XP and there new release. 

    But at least you can fly the airplane as opposed as just looking at the eye-candy. Besides the eye-candy what else does MSFS offer?

    I brought my wife into the room and showed her your post Rob. She almost fainted. Here was a guy who actually knew Jim Morrison. Morrison has always been her one of her favorite people. On our first visit to Paris one of the must-do-right-away things was a visit to his grave at Pere Lachaise Cemetery. I'm a bit in awe also. It's one thing to meet a guy like Morrison but it's an entirely other thing to go on a double date. Good on ya mate.

    Absolutely true. The bass line IS the music. Ever see folks stomping their foot to the music. That's the bass line they're hearing. When I learned to play the piano over 70 years ago the first thing I was told is that all popular piano is based on the left hand. The "bass" hand. Down with rap.

     The music that brought the "bass line" to America by my favorite piano lady:

    Over the years I've been lucky enough to have met a couple. Bing Crosby, Clint Eastwood, and Rosemary Clooney were among them. But I can't say I ever "knew" them. I don't think a one-minute "nice-to-meet-you" conversation qualifies. But I can say that I knew Arnold Palmer. For several years I coordinated corporate donations of personal computers to his children's hospital in Orlando. And played lot of golf at his Bay Hill Club :). Arnie was a truly great guy. His empathy and feeling for people was unbounded. He did an enormous amount of charity work and did almost all of it anonymously. He didn't want recognition. He already had that. All he wanted to do was help the folks in need. Especially the children. R.I.P. Arnie. You were one of the good ones.

    I went to dinner last night at the house very old friend's friend. In the course of the evening I learned that they both went to the same high school. Erasmus Hall High School in Brooklyn. I guess that it was inevitable that the conversation would turn to Barbra Streisand. She also went to Erasmus High. And graduated in the same year as my friend's friend, 1959. After a couple of drinks, the host brought out a picture. Taken on the set of a movie titled The Way We Were. It was of the two primary actors, Barbara Streisand and Robert Redford. And it was signed by both of them. With a special notation from Barbara remembering their high school years. Wow!
