Stand by for an epistle, and thanks for letting me relive.. This is an interesting question. I have been fortunate enough (or unfortunate enough, depending on POV) of have done a lot world travel for business, and a fair amount pleasure travel with my spousal unit. Many, many great meals...

Love to see it. Great story. Saw the stage production in London a couple of years ago.

So the comments about a tablet not suitable for work with spreadsheets, word processing, etc, are spot on. I have a laptop that docks into larger screens (two screens at work, love the extended desktop) and keyboards at work and at home. I also have a netbook, which also isn't adequate for...

Color me green. You have a happy new year.

This guy is a monster. I've screwed around with guitar for twenty years and never heard of him before. Heard him on the local NPR station tonight. [YOUTUBW]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ7amOCI6DI[/YOUTUBE]

Jazzalley (Seattle's premier jazz club)...early show of Pablo Sanchez, latin jazz band. We wouldn't have done anything since my wife, oncology nurse, is working a 12 hour shift, but one of the docs she works with gave us the tickets. She meeting me there, hopefully she will have a chance to...

Unquestionably, Vince Guaraldi's "My Little Drum" (off the Charlie Brown Xmas album). His riff on Little Drummer Boy, not quite the same. It's light, airy, filled with joy and mood. The instrumental fills are beautiful. Almost brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. Almost any jazzy...

Business development analyst for a large aerospace company.

Then again, the Melbourne trolley would kill you just as effectively. An aside, the song is by Tangerine Kitty, but it sounds EXACTLY like Ricky Lee Jones (sheesh, I am dating myself).

Sheesh...just when they legalize marijuana in my state.

I just used Istanbul as an example. Could have been Lima, Auckland, or Kyoto. That said, I have been to Istanbul and Ankara a few times, and Turkey is very high on my list. Enormous history, tons of historical sites. Really great food, friendly people, culture that straddles European and...

Is she a Boston? I love those dogs. I had one for many years. Smartest dog I have ever met. My current dog thinks everything in the world needs to be marked.

Actually, had a lot of business with the USAF at Hanscom AFB in Lexington. But I did get to see a lot of the Boston area. It is probably my favorite East Coast city. Don't like the winters though.

So I get your sentiment. And there are a couple places in the US that certainly would not be off my agenda (NYC, coastal Maine, couple others). For the record, I have seen a lot of the US. In fact, noting you are from Boston, I think I have been there 13-14 times. But both spouse and I...

My lament is the heat. I love exploring cuisines from everywhere, but my wife, while willing to try anything, and usually liking anything, simply is a weenie when it comes to heat. Very frustrating to me because i want to cook authentic as possible. And there are so many cuisines that have a...
