Funny you should ask. It's been seven weeks since The Big Change, and . . .

. . . I've had two bouts, one that lasted only a few days during the first week, and another of short duration after having a dollop of hummus at a Lebanese restaurant . . .




. . . in late July. Dry beans are high in purines, so I've got to be careful about that, too.  No more chili for me!

Otherwise, ok.  Feeling fine now . . . no trace of gout whatsoever.

Well said, Captain!

. . . but haven't been able to track down since. Any idea of the title, Captain? Saw Dire Straits perform once, in the early '90s. Would love to see them again . . .

Thank you, Casey! This masterpiece will be on the jukebox . . .

Just called the ticket office: sold out. There may be tickets released . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 13th, 2019-14:22

Same here. Long admired Mark . . .

. . . and his respect for the old masters . . . . . . is just one reason. Father and son?

Excellent ...

All I ever really wanted to do in life is shoot pool . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 13th, 2019-15:03
. . . and drink beer. Now, I'm down to one.

Yes, but without the beer ....

Surely one of a kind...long may he reign as a Sultan of Swing!

Love over Gold and Alchemy remain on my favourite Dire Straits albums. Too bad I missed him performing live....

..... and he seems to be a vintage watchman too....

....not „only“ with Speedmasters that he is being seen / photographed numerous times but also Heuer and Lemania. Cheers, HSTE www.watchprosite.com www.watchprosite.com
