Jambalaya is my new favorite way to dispose of leftovers! Used to be fried rice or stir fry. Tomato base, thyme, various other spicies and a touch of heavy cream. Not authentic Im sure, but yum!

I am sure the Jamba is excellent. You are an excellent cook.
baby is doing well. (Unlike her parents...) my sleeping pattern is so messed up nowadays. So bad, sometimes I take a nap during lunchtime at work. Starting to sleep after 1am to 7am. Then using her lungs again for the next 14 hours.

man i thought PG cops were rough... I guess border cops goes beyond catching illegals and contraband. But always two sides of every story. I'd like to see what was the evidence presented by the BP?
Where is our TWMAC legal correspondence? @TC: didn't you say, you are a lawyer?

What is three to discuss?
The guy got stopped at a checkpoint the cops said the dog smelled something. When they asked him to get out of the car he locked himself in it and tried to talk himself out of it, only irritating the officers. The cop walked around the to the other side of the car and told him to close his eyes. They they tased him just like he deserved.
Here is what would have heppened if I was in that cr.
Cop "Sir, our Dog smelled something and were are going to have to search it. do you have any illegal aliens or drugs in the car?
Me "no sir"
Cop " we need you to pull into this area so we can search?
Me "You know that really sucks, but sure I aint got nothing to gide"
Then they tear car apart and waste 3 hours of my time.

pretty refined sense of smell on that dog if it can specifically distinguish between US Citizens and aliens just by sniffing around a bit

Naturalized in 1965, which means he was as American as anyone when he hit the big time. Once an American, always an American, I always says. Unless you have Native American ancestry; then you can call yourself anything you want since it's really your continent. The rest of us are just squatters.
You got the best; that man could do anything with a guitar. What a waste of talent.

Later in the 70s, that Jesus-looking guy and Joe Walsh with the Eagles were pretty good, too.
And good luck with that LSD or whatever thingie.

Its ok!!! Really! Not even a bruise or a sore spot!
But it was interesting to see...when we finally played two back, we got into points better. Me at the net doesn't exactly = best playing position for my partner and I. So that is our plan if we come up against a Downs clone!
Speaking of which, the fact that you could peg me says just how well you are playing...most people can't do that off of my partner's serve! :shock:

I have an extra one if you need it, but wouldn't that put you over the 3-stick limit?

Uhhh, no... I'm not getting out.
I was with a friend a few weeks ago and we were driving through Clarendon. Cop pulls us over and tells my friend (who was driving) that he made an illegal left turn even though we were going straight down Clarendon Blvd. He then tells my friend to get out of the vehicle. He refuses. Cop asks if he's had anything to drink. He refuses to answer. Cop goes over to another cop, he comes over and the pattern repeats. Finally my friend asks if we are free to leave and the cop says yes, so we drive away.
No ticket, no anything.
I'm not anti-law enforcement (having just left a job with the FBI) but cops count on citizens being either incompetent or scared when they try to force you to comply. I am neither of those things.
The next week I'm at the MMA gym, and who do I see? The same cop. I struck up a conversation with him and he didn't even remember me.

no way. wife would never suspect I use a lightning rod/ fancy alum cloth hanger as a racquet.
is it true that folks string those extra tight? like in the 60 lb range? don't know how folks hit a ball with a hitting area of sap's expert mode toilet pic?

Happy, happy BD to our wild and crazy guy, Dats, who lives life like I dress for tennis. I truly admire your free spirit, and your tennis ain't half bad, either. Enjoy your celebration and stay thirsty, my friend:

LOL. When I last played with it back in the early 80s, I didn't know much about strings and tensions. I know it has a tremendous trampoline effect, and the one time I've hit with it recently (about 4 years ago at FRC), I had no trouble hitting the sweet spot again. Quite an experience, but no way would I want to go back that far.

Thanks Xis! Almost didn't make it uthanks to Ford! Freaking 40, how did that happen? If I win my tennis match today ill put on my shiny white loafers and dance to Kool and the gang all night!
Might have over done it on beer and buffalo wings last night though! Ooof rough start today!
I used t..2000 once.... it served bombs! Still got one in the house. But I think ill stick to my trusty wilblxPOs today.
Peace out homies

40, huh? That's about when I got serious about tennis - joined an indoor club and started playing year-round. Game took a big jump, then leveled out to basically what it is now, with better racquet technology making up for physical shortcomings.
BTW, almost passed out on the court yesterday - 3rd time in the last 2 weeks. I think my body is telling me that in this heat wave (indexes above 105F every day), I'm good for maybe an hour before vital organs start shutting down. Bummer.
Listening to some excellent sounds this a.m. - Santana, particularly. Nice, mellow Latino sound for a lazy Sunday morning.
Again, Happy BD to a good bud.

Downs!!! AAARRRRRGGGHHHHH!!!! SO CLOSE!
You guys had the tough one though. B and I should have pulled that out. I keep banging my head over it. I don't know how I was hitting half the shots I was...but it wasn't enough. B, I think, just wasn't warmed up or woken up. The lack of warmup wasn't good for his serving arm. Can't really complain, he's an awesome partner!!! I'm considering trying to not get moved up so we can keep on going! (he is probably rooting for me to get bumped, haha!)
Perhaps we can at least take a 7.5 combo team to the VA title? I still haven't heard back from our Firedragon friend.
For those at home...our 8.0 team came in second, making us Mid-Atlantic 8.0 finalists. Got some swag, too. Going into the final match today, the MD team and us were tied on ALL numbers, individual wins, sets lost and even games lost. Only they were 2-0 and we were 1-1. Funny, that tennis math. And only 7 games separated the 3rd place team (our fellow NOVA compatriots) from us.

yep....soo close! oh well...the lack of warmup didn't help...stupid rain! i wished we were outside...i like the hot sun, the wind, and all the elements...plus it would've slowed the ball down a little, from that HUGE hitter that A and I played...

I went to a tourney this weekend to support a friend's match. I was really amazed how well the opposite dress in their attire? I mean, no one wore t-shirts and shorts. Almost all the female players wore something that either came from the attire shop in TW. I was wondering if that's the norm?
They wanna look good whether they're playing good or bad?? :shock:
Whereas, some of us like to wear one sweaty gray JMU t-shirt everywhere, while kicking serious arse - zing! :twisted: haha
10, 9, 8, 7... til HW mentions some wear basketball shorts with no pockets...
