Except for the fact the George filters my mail to his spam folder along with penis enlargement ads. Which I also sent him. U never know who might benefit.

Excellent.

Meanwhile, nearby, dinner in Muncie (that's Indiana, for those not in the know):

Spat over last rib ends up with fork in the eye

The moral of the story? You are not so far from Muncie. If George wants the last pierogie, you might want to let him have it..

Fantastic time! We met at some trendy place near Millennium Park and enjoyed a beer and a burger. It was like we hadn't seen each other in a few weeks, not a few years. Conversation ran from medicine, travels, retirement, family, books, piano, music.

We talked about some of you guys as well.

Hopefully, he'll be back in another couple of years for a visit:

PS: I have a bunch of Faded Glory Oxford shirts. I have not seen them made of that thick a cloth since I was a kid. These things will outlive me. I love them.

Awesome!
We met a couple of years ago (no pics at that time) and this time it was better.

We immediately felt at ease with each other. No awkward pauses, and the conversation (and jokes) flowed like urine out of a beer-inspired bladder water over a waterfall. It was like a friendship rekindled.

Sadly, he had a meeting to go to, and my train to the 'burbs was leaving so we cut it off after an hour and forty minutes. Could have gone all afternoon.

Next time.

I only met him once, at Jeffrey's (remember him?) before he (Bach, not Jeffrey) ran the marathon.

We have probably the premiere health club in North America in our town. Next time you're here, let me know if you'd like to try it out.

Neat! Glad you guys had a good time.
As a good person, I implore you to do as I, a good person, do. Be good. Do NOT be bad. If you see bad, end bad. End it in yourself, and end it in others. By any means necessary, the good must conquer the bad. Good people know this. Do you know this? Are you good?

Deep dish Chicago pizza is suitable only for assassinations.
Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool.

I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss!
