My Dad was a huge fan and about 4 years ago I was at a retirement party that Mr. Brubeck was a guest. I so wanted to get his autograph for my Dad but knew that it was so inappropriate. Luckily the guy who was retiring offered to do it for me later on. I was able to get a CD of Dave Brubeck and he signed it personally to my Dad. Unfortunately around the same time my Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimers' but really appreciated the framed CD jacket, before the disease started to take over. My Dad passed away 2 years ago but I now have it and it reminds me of my Dad and Mr. Brubeck.

If you use Chrome you just have to start typing the name into the address and it will "auto complete" for you. So really, I wasn't typing your whole blog name each time, just the first few letters.<br /><br />I much prefer salty over sweet but Bailey's in hot chocolate can be nice and Jagermeister goes well with outdoor sports.xoxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12336645422459479330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-62676609549329607262012-12-06T21:48:12.067-04:002012-12-06T21:48:12.067-04:00Oh yes!

Visits from people you don't get to see often enough, wine (just one glass) at lunch, the enthusiasm of 10-year-olds, blue sky and time to enjoy it, the plethora of Christmas trees I can spot in condo towners now...still going...plus that lovely, smiley compliment from you. If you don't get it sorted soon, when I come to visit I will be begging to sort your blog favourites, log-in etc..

It's amazing how I can exert more effort in one way in order to stay lazy in another. <br /><br />In college I had Mini Wheats for dinner quite often, simply because I liked them so much.
