Tim,

Sorry to hear about the divorce... not a fun thing by any means but in reality it is the road to a brighter future.

That's what everybody keeps telling me. I sincerely appreciate the thought, Mark.

Me too, Tim - sorry to hear about a divorce.

As a kid I got to see several of them up close. Not fun even when both sides agreed on things. My dad finally got the hang of it (marriage) by his fourth try. Mom never did get the hang of it, even after four tries.

Tim, I wish you all the best! [thumbsup]

Whats wrong with Neil? He has some good tunes.

Esp. his 1966-68 stuff -"Red red Wine" "The Boat that I Row", "I'm a Believer" .. et.al. ...

Even the "E.T'" song with Streisand in 1982 was a good duet song.

-A restaurant closes at 10:00. You arrive at 9:40. The staff are already vacuuming and scrubbing the floors in an attempt to hurry out the doors. They certainly do not look thrilled to see you.

That is a good one. I HATE THAT. If you want to close at 9:30, freakin' close at 9:30, but don't advertise 10:00 and then start saying "The grill is off" at 9:30.

About Neil Diamond: His best two recordings ever are "Cherry Cherry" and "Holly Holy" (the versions from the "Hot August Night" album). Thanks for allowing me to clear that up.

I like his song "Kentucky Woman" and especially the cover version by Deep Purple.

I used to drive to my moms house daily and this song would come on the radio every single day on my way there, and eventually after a few weeks I never heard it again!

This is without a doubt Neil Diamond's best song, or at least my favorite!

As Bill Murray said in What About Bob..."There are two types of people in this world: Those who like Neil Diamond, and those who don't"
My dad took us all to see The Jazz Singer when my brother and I were kids and we suffered the album every single day for weeks after. We couldn't talk at dinner while the album was on or we got "the look"
Sorry Neil Diamond. But I don't like you.

I can understand "the Jazz Singer (1980)" - some songs that were in that film can crawl on you horribly at times (and I ran that movie for 6 weeks in a house with no port glass. Thus definitely had to hear everything...) and the film wasn't the knockdown boxoffice draw at the time either .. But give Neil a fair shake with his more famous hit tunes.

The soundtrack to "ANNIE" was the one that I hated terribly. Sorry to see John Huston waste his talents on such a drab movie - and I had to run that one, half the summer of 82 as well .. and listen to it.. that was terribly insane ..

Sally hates Neil Diamond as much as I intolerate the "Osbutts" (Osmonds,) esp Donny Osmond in those early days ....

Another one:

-When someone can't finish all of their meal or whatever they are eating and asks me if I want it. Ummmm... no. I will NOT eat other people's food! I don't care if it goes to waste. There is no law that says ALL food must be eaten!

Speaking of food Joe. I will be in Denver starting Sunday. Any recommendations on a good steakhouse?

Starting Sunday?

I usually just go to Outback Steakhouse or Lone Star. Haven't tried any others that I can remember.

Texas Roadhouse is the bomb for good steaks though ...

But, wouldn't kick OUTBACK out the back door either with their steak menus ...

Tough decision there ...

Texas Roadhouse is the best place to get a steak. Its cheaper and better then Outback. Two can eat a Roadhouse for $35 bucks and the same two will eat at Outback for $45
