While I love to do Florida in the winter, my pockets aren't that deep! ;-)

Dust yourself off and come up and grab a rocker before they're all taken

It was the Dust-man himself that got this party started! <G>

cactus-

so... murrey says he's finally worn out his knees and he's going for another pair...
what wears out knees? i think it's all the crouching around as a professional
photographer, looking at all the angles, perspectives, lighting possibilities,
composition, depth of field and other stuff we amateurs don't know about.

either that... or he's been kneeling and praying a lot. <g>

i wonder where coonaz is and what he's up to?

haven't heard from dealie for a couple years at least. she needs to bring us
a pitcher of her sweet tea if we're going to pull up the rocking chairs.

i heard from percival 917 (joel) recently. i think he said he had just done the gnu
knee thing too and was hoping to get back on the links as soon as the gnu knee
was ready. i'm sure it is by now. maybe he can give murrey a consumer review.

ranger rick should be checking in if we stay in the rockers awhile. you should
ring his bell with a post to him cactus.

clapton's_guitar (clappy) is still around NNMB SI Branch once in awhile - he's
a face booker now and i'm not but i got to spend three days with him in october.
golfing and hanging out .he's doing great and as funnie as ever. he needs to slow
his backswing just a tiny bit and rotate his hips a little more. :-)
i had a post from bonnuss this fall with a catchy new username under a free
"pledge" account that allows 5 posts per day. she was relaxed and said something
about cruise ships and international travel. i told her she owed me 5 cents please.

abstract has been missing for years. i'd sure like to get an update from him.
i always love his insider chicago stuff. i was up there for a month last march
but i didn't see him. i didn't get a close look at everyone there though. <g>

any other gossip or made-up stories to share from you or murrey or abuelita
(who used to be roserrsp)?

'keep on rockin'

Aha, a vest you need help to button up, so the deep pocket is in front for all to see!

Definitely a possibility.

I did not know that.

The education you get from being on this porch is beyond, beyond!

Time for a rematch between the NNBM Icebears and the esteemed Voltaire's Porch hockey team!

We're getting old. All I remember from the last match was something like, "SWOOSH, SWOOSH,
SMOOCH, HE SHOOTS, HE SCORES!!!" Even though Murrey is still fit, fiddling and ready, I'm
getting too old for that kind of action. <g>

We're going with "armchair sailing" this time. All you have to do to WIN, is guess the time that
the sailing catamaran, La Vagabonde, arrives in Europe with Greta Thunberg aboard. The deadline
for entries is this Saturday - Nov. 16 @ 4:20 PM MST.

Include the Date and the local time of arrival in Europe. My guess is 5 Dec, 2019 @ 4:20 PM
Local Time (Wherever she makes landfall).

Details on the trip and the contest are here ------> Message 32417115

The cat left yesterday and expects a three week crossing - more or less. MAKE A GUESS. Nothing to
lose.

This will be so much easier than putting on hockey skates.

love,

-polvie
