I always liked:

Ivory Tower Central, or
Bastion of Liberalism

I don't own a bow tie. I'm proud to report from high atop the ivory tower. I'm also proud to be a bastion of liberlaism. We believe that wealth should be shared with those who need it. Is that really such a bad idea?

Better the People's Republic than the Banker's Republic. Oh, that's an oxymoron. Anyplace run by bankers would not be a republic. It would be a cashocracy. Perhaps a greedarchy.

The sixties will never die! Some of us have not forsaken the ideals of our youth for or 401 plans. Power to the pandas.

"i believe the wealth should be sharred.." this from the man who brags about his 10 B tips...

liberals love to give away other people's money it seems...

enough politics...

we are off to the HI GTG tomorrow AM, so don't expect any answers from me until after the 26th, unless i find free wi-fi

He's their problem now. they can have him. In a few short days, the HI contingent will start chiming in on my behalf. Merely a matter of time.

Bookchick has inquired concerning which vaccinations will be necessary for her trip into darkest Needham. The CDC is no help. Has anyone been there and survived unscathed?

Hey, wait a minute... YOU'VE been to darkest Needham yourself... did YOU require any shots? I assume you were unscathed as you are alive and well, and posting here on fodors.... lol

(psssst.... you and Beth really must come out to HNL next year)

Cambridge provides its residents with antibodies that make us impervious to surburban germs. BC is from Michigan and has no such protection.

I can't even spell HNL. how can I go there?

We are in the process of persuading Bob to change the Fri. night dinner from Skipjack's to an Indian restaurant near his hovel.

no need to persuade me to change....i am fine with it and now i think we have outgrown the private room i reserved...

i will check it all out when i return next week...

They don't have phones in Hawaii? Let's get cracking.

I wish I could be there for the GTG but due to previous unavoidable commitment, my wife's birthday party, I'll have to stay in Thailand.

What are the chances of you guys sending me a couple of live lobsters, about 4lb each? If sending it is too much of a problem, sending something alive, I'm sure Carol or Brad can hand carry it over for me since Brad is coming over in October. A nice bottle of white will be most appreciated too!

I think Bob has gone "native"

Well, I gotta' tell ya' HT... my mind is most definitely in Hawaii, but my body is sitting back at my desk in Illinois... sniffle sniffle

But the good news is, I'll soon be seeing Bob and Karen and Lucy and all the rest of the gang at the BOS GTG.

Carol

carol, don't forget ken too....

pook....we have a couple of other birthdays so why not bring dang here for her birthday and celebrate in style

Yep. No place like Cambridge in October. My birthday is that weekend. We could have a joint celebration.

Bob
You are absolutely right! Ken is also going to be in Boston. Sorry Ken... my brain is sleeping today.

Hey, what ABOUT ME?

Yes, Mimi.... I was referring to the group that just met in HNL... sorry. I'm too jetlagged to think!

Mimi is a necessary ingredient to all of our gatherings. Maybe we can trade Bob for Pook even up. I'm sure Mrs. Pook would love to spend a birthday with Bob. It would certainly make her appreciate Pook that much more.
