For me time usually swings the pendulum back to indifferent.

I hope so. I used to be good at not letting the PHB's get to me. Of course, the PHB I have now has never been a PHB before, so she's got a lot of ideas without the experience of what works or not.

Sort of like a 2nd Lt. with a map and a compass.

Thinking about starting in on Ken Burns' Civil War series.  I haven't watched it in 7 or 8 years.  I may try to talk my son into watching with me.  

I don't much care for the US Civil War, Mike. Many reasons that I won't go into here. But I very much enjoyed this series, as did my wife. This was my first exposure to Shelby Foote and he converted both of us to the series. It's probably a good series to watch with a young man to expose him to the issue.

Alex watched the first episode with me last night. The first has all of the lead in to the war and not much "battle stuff" except Bull Run, so I wondered how engaged he would be. As it was ending I looked over at him. He was looking at the screen and nodding, then turned to me and said, "That was good!"

Hurricanes game tonight, so Episode 2 will probably be tomorrow night.

I got to meet Shelby Foote while passing on the street in Memphis in the mid 90's. He was out for an evening walk in cutoff shorts and a beat up white tee shirt. LOL I recognized him immediately. I said, "Hello Mr. Foote." He smiled and replied, "Hello there" and kept on his way. My walking companion at the time said I acted like I had just met Cary Grant and Grace Kelly.

Son, we keep telling you. You can't do Haggis without a significant amount of single malt 1st. Even Bobbie Burns, the saint of all things Scottish say's you gotta do it that way. With enough good single malt on board, you'll think it's pretty good. (Full disclosure---I've never had Haggis in a can. But I've had "Haggis on a plate" and that DEFINATELY called for lots of Scottish Whisky!).

Disagree... when I first had haggis I was far too young to drink single malt, or any whiskey. In fact, I would have thought at that time that whiskey tastes gross... but I did like haggis.

Spicy barley with some chewy abomasal bits. I've had it. Pass the Scotch.

Suet, chopped sheep innards (lungs, liver, heart, etc), and some sort of grain all wrapped in a sheep's stomach and boiled until positively sinister-looking.

Perfectly fine as long as you maintain a 2:1 scotch to haggis ratio.

I have never had Haggis, not sure where I would even find it around here.

Either way, Dragon Age II is out today, and I'm sorely tempted to call in sick...

ORIGINAL: Grollub

Dan was a single bloke living at home with his Dad and working in the family business.

When Dan found out that he was going to inherit a fortune when his sickly father died,
he decided he needed to find a wife with whom to share his forthcoming fortune.

One evening, at an investment meeting, he spotted the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.
Her natural beauty took his breath away. "I may look like just an ordinary bloke," he said to
her, "but in just a few years, my widower father will die and I will inherit $200 million."

Impressed, the woman asked for his business card and three days later, she became his stepmother.
