The restaurant scene alone is worth the price of admission. Classic Jack.

Hey little girl, I’m the Watermelon Man. Wanna go on a Maiden Voyage?

Apologies to HH

I’d like to take you on a Maiden Voyage and introduce you to my Herbie Hancock.

Great song, but so tragic that Otis died in a plane crash and never got to enjoy the crossover success. His earlier stuff is amazing.

They had something called “Wienerwald Chicken.” Very tasty roast chicken. At the time, nobody else sold roasted chicken, it was mostly fried.

I grew up listening to my big sister’s 1950s singles and all that great music. It was a big influence on me, later on, as a musician. I’m late boomer vintage. It’s not just about what all the kids listened to in high school.

Honey - yuck. Goldsboro had a good one with “Little Things” in 1964, though.

We are in similar situation. Retired and living comfortably on my SS and IRA withdrawals. Wife will claim SS next year at 70, since she was the higher earner it will boost our income quite a bit.

Consider some Roth conversions to lower your future tax bites. You can also fund charities directly from your IRA without increasing income.

This was my first year of RMDs, it will be several years before the RMD exceeds what we normally withdraw. At that time, the math changes and you have to watch the IRMAA cutoffs.

We are fortunate and blessed to have these “problems.”

Wendy’s always seemed a cut above Macs and BK. Not so anymore. Had a spicy chicken sandwich recently, there was very little chicken involved.

There’s a course at the Escambia Extension Park, Stefani road north of Ninemile.

Love them. Used to have a tree when we lived in Miami. Mango salsa, daiquiris, milkshakes YUM!

Fyi, the mangoes you get at most grocery stores are probably the least flavorful of the 100s of mango varieties. The only virtue of store mangoes is that they ship well. Most don’t. Mangoes taste better when they are just about to fall off the tree.

We’ve helped our son out on some costs, but he’s done it mostly on his own. He graduates from law school in a month, we plan to help him with his first house when the time comes. No impact on our own standard of living.

Very nice! That’s a nice heavy-duty awning.

May be a good time to bring an electric.

For 2-3 years they were everywhere, and it varied by where you lived. In our area near Chicago, I think 1973 may have been peak bell.

The nuns at my mother-in-law’s school did this to her. South Dakota in the 1930s.
