"Cool Change" by Little River Band.

Like others I'm not a big fan of covers as JB has enough ammo in his own arsenal. But you do mention a great song. I also like Sailing by Chris Cross.

I will guide on that cat for free!

Yeah, and I'll help.

Many of you have seen Jimmy taking delivery of his new 44' Freeman on the home page of this site. Billy Freeman has only custom built 2 pilot house models of their renowned catamaran boats (that's all they build.) The first was Jimmy's 33 footer and now this new one. Both were team efforts between F...

I really miss the days when each store had some of it's own "original" stuff too. It's almost like it's too cookie cutter anymore. And even when in Nashville I wasn't super impressed with the selection. The stuff sold at Sam's Club is so thin and cheap feeling I don't even bother with it. That 's a...

Jasper went on a trip and asked his neighbor Cletus to watch out for things around his place while he was gone. After a couple days Jasper called Cletus and asked him how things were going. Cletus: "Not too good. Your cat ran out In the street and got hit by a car and was killed." Jasper: "Man, that...

What bothers me is that I drop a paycheck at the danged concession stand... I take a Snickers bar in and I'm done. Somebody should write a song... Take for example when you go to the movies these days You know, they try to sell you this jumbo drink Eight extra ounces of watered down cherry coke for...

I don't mind going to a bad movie as I'm a senior and get a pretty good ticket price where we go. What bothers me is that I drop a paycheck at the danged concession stand while watching the junk. And my wife eats like a lumberjack to boot. I take a Snickers bar in and I'm done. A theater manager on...

My wife has been struggling a bit with her weight. I would never say anything negative to her about that. I wouldn't want to hurt her feelings and I also like certain of my body parts right where they are. But the other day we were out and she noticed a lady who obviously had a nice grocery budget a...

Here's a question for you. Has Matthew McConaughey ever made a movie that the director didn't find a way to make him take his shirt off? Of course it obviously will happen in this thing. Every time my wife and I have gone to a Matt movie I bet her that he will take his shirt off. I've never lost But...

I watched it, wasn't impressed, not sure what the mic drop was all about. Maybe the mic drop was a sign of relief kinda like, "Whew, I got through it without screwing up." Plenty of people have messed up the lyrics big time. I forget his name now but there was an opera singer who used to perform th...

Ehhhhh my saints were robbed. What a terrible way to lose. If the rams end up pulling it off ( they won’t) it has it be a bit jaded by that win. As for the national anthem, jimmy sang it like 72 year old jimmy would sing it. I thought it was fine. He never had a wide range of vocals. Jimmy is legen...

Jimmy doesn't have a wide range of vocal notes, and never has. But he sang the notes correctly (without the dramatic performance other artists seem to want to do), and I was fine with it. The mic drop? Eh. Silly, and not sure what it added to the performance. Yep. Jimmy has never boasted about his ...

The other day I asked my wife what her opinion was on Red China.

She said it would probably be OK with a white tablecloth.

Oh well, I guess she's right after all. When will I learn to be very careful with context?

JB never takes his politics to a show, at least as far as I know and I haven't heard otherwise. That's the main thing. I remember when the bathroom deal went down in North Carolina in 2016. Springsteen cancelled his show which was coming up quickly. Ticked off many a fan, not because of his politics...

I saw that on FB, too.. Fun but lots of $ for taxes, so not much of a prize. :) I don't understand this logic. Who cares if it's taxed as income? A $350,000 prize taxed at 50% is still $175k more than zero. I agree. It's just worth pointing out. Believe it or not there are people who don't understa...

There are 3 sources you can always count on for the truth; God, children, and spandex.

Yep, that unearned income will get you every time. Ask a lottery winner.

My wife called me into the great room last night. Sher was watching The Wheel. They are giving away one of those Latitude Buffett homes this week for a lucky puzzler solver. Big tax bill comes with it of course.

Although not the subject of your question I'll contribute my favorite passage from The Prince of Tides. I confess that it's only because of my lowcountry roots. Pat's nonfiction works were filled with truths from tormented life. This is one of the more pleasant reflections. “To describe our growing ...
