...and he's a Texan... (Although Austinites only get 1/2 credit these days, he gets bonus points and definitely qualifies!)

Jess - Any chance you'll make it to Inzane? Would really like to meet you and share an adult beverage or two...

Have to watch those cigars, they'll kill ya!  2funny   My hat's off to that gentleman, just imagine what he's seen and experienced. Born in 1906, same year as my dad who left us at 93. But, he didn't smoke or drink whiskey....probably why he only lived to 93.  Grin

When we get to a post about dinosaur fossils I'll lament that you're not planning on making it to Inzane this year... Wink

So would I, but sadly no, it's too far for me.  And I am a stand in to take care of my mom up in MI after her heart surgery and blood thinner brain bleed.  My brother and his wife have been at it full time, and I will be going up to give them a break.... and see her.  I cannot be out of pocket for two weeks or more right now.
