Did you get to Mavericks? (And not come to see us?) Oh I see Mavericks! I pulled up YOUR Website & THERE YOU WERE! I found my new surf instructor!  If that looked like I was hitting on you... you were right!

We had a wine tasting at our club a while ago, of wines that are made or associated with club members. My buddy the ex-police chief comes from a wine making family, so I got him to donate a case, but neither he nor I drink, so someone else had to pour it.

What's the difference between a violin and a viola?
A viola burns longer!

I thought I would finally reply to this thread.
Question: What is the difference between a bassoon and a flute?
Answer: You can hit a baseball much farther with a bassoon.

Weather ... you like Bach or not. That is the question!? Anyways, this picture is for you Horowitzian. It's not a cat, but it's clever!  That must be A.S. Bach, the brother of P.D.Q. The thought makes me shriver in fear.

That's what you call really taking a "dive!"
There was a pianist named Dougherty who played on a piano-forte. He played on and on, made the audience yawn, and died when he was about forty.
There once was a pianist named Damon wrote a limerick he thought was a great one. But his friends and associates thought it quite atrocious, so they bade him go back to his playin'.
There once was a pirate named Ford who chopped up a piano with his sword. But the kindling he sought would better have been bought, for he found all he got was a chord.
A tutor who tooted a flute, tried to teach two tooters to toot. Said the two to the tutor, "Is it harder to toot, or to tutor two tutors to toot?"
A man who had played the bassoon was heard whistling a hillbilly tune. And although it's not fair He was moved from first chair, and forbidden to play Claire de Lune.
An upright bass player named Hippen Said, "Frankly, for long-distance shippin', I'd prefer a French horn: It's more easily borne, And it's nice to put crackers and dip in."
There was a musician named Schickele Who could blow Finicula-Finiculi On a tube of toothpaste, Which was not in good taste, Though rather amazing technically.
A guitarist named Pat Donohue Said, "Guitar is ideal, in my view. I find it attracts more girls than a sax, And the neighbors are fond of it, too."
There was a young man of Nevada Who played tunes on a jug or a pot, a Musician whose repertoir Went from Sgt. Pepper t' Our Gang to the Moonlight Sonata.
There was an old crooner named Geoff Who gradually became deaf Til he couldn't distinguish Italian from English Or the treble from the bass clef.

So, how much snow are you all getting? In Grand Rapids, we've gotten quite a lot in the past 3 weeks. In the past week we've gotten about 12" or so. Give or take. Plus, it's been down into the teends for temperatures and below that with the wind chill. Butt cold!!!
We're in Chicago now. When we came here, they hardly had any snow but over night, it dropped 3" on us! It's following me!
How bout the rest of you?

If it is, it's gold dollars stuffed inside of the white stuff that we throw at the cars from CA.

Hey Howie! Long time no see! Where you been?
My answer absolutely not. I hate the white stuff. Would you like me to hire a dump truck load full and have it delivered to your driveway?😄
We are getting a lot of snow. My snowplow driver just came and plowed out about 1 foot of snow out of my driveway just now. We are expected to get somewhere between 4 to 6 more inches by morning yet.
One of my sons just came home a little bit of ago and said the roads are a nightmare. If a 25-year-old says they are a nightmare then that means they are bad!

If the bears are roasting a penguin, they must have gone south for the winter.
