Are you referring to his T & A posts, or his blowing guys in bars?

You so funny! But get it right, Hank. He didn't even order it *for me*. Oh, no, I just got the dregs of what he didn't finish himself from the bottle he'd ordered before I arrived. Just gets worse and worse, doesn't it?

I had a McGriddle when they first came out.
I've worked off about half the weight-gain. |

What did he order? CEO types usually don't flinch at the wine menu and order either what the wine steward recommends or take control if they are that type and order something special. |

The discipline alone cannot be a draw for recovery.

WHEN Todd Crandell competes in the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii this month, it will mark his 12th Ironman in seven years.
I give him credit for having completed 12 (which is more than I have done), but he did not qualify for Hawaii. Not even close. He obviously got a free pass.
Hell, Coltrane can probably do a 14 hour IM on 4 weeks notice.

Dateline Last Night
anyone see that? the whole hour was about the 2 young lawyers whose boat was found empty in Lake Huron. A few weeks later they found the girl's body but have never found the boy. Greta and now NBC have been trying to make it seem like he is alive and did it.
The teary dad of the guy- that was my mentor (unofficial). He is such a sweet guy. That shit is fucked up. They are trying to create a story based upon the grief of the dead girl's father, and some random odd facts. meanwhile they are destroying the other family.
Ever see 6 O'Clock News by Ross McElwee? He goes to visit people 6 months AFTER they were part of some horrible story. the touch of the press into their lives had done damage beyond whatever tragedy they had. That reminds me of this.

For that, I'll drink a glass of inexpensive red.

Edmeades. This was discussed - wait, no, this sparked this whole discussion. And if you want the story, he told me he'd tried first in [the metro area where he works], asked the sommelier for the best they had under $100, and this is what they gave. Being from [metro area where I live now] originally, this CEO appreciated that he could have been directed to the $99.99 special but instead got a solid recommendation and something easy to find and exceedingly reasonable while tasting rather better than its retail price might suggest.
Not every high-level person takes every single opportunity to salve his/her childhood worries of inadequacy by buying only the flashiest, dashiest items.
