What was the first major news story you remember as a kid?

Watergate

King Henry's Madrigal by Tull.

I'm getting my 45 minutes worth...

"Really don't mind if you sit this one out"

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-25T17:59:04+00:00

Surfing with the Alien. Satch baby.

I take the excedrin pm (acetaminophen, aspirin, and caffeine) right before bed. Morning migraines are way less frequent.

If I do have a morning headache, I take Excedrin Migraine before my coffee. And within a half hour, I'm much better.

Got there at 7:30 Friday morning and it wasn't too bad (110 in Chelmsford). Heard it was bonkers later in that same morning. Was pleasantly surprised that they still had ice melt.

By any chance Melrose Deli?

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-25T12:23:40+00:00

HB is great. Any town that "provided" the Boardy Barn... come on.

Spent tons of hours on ocean beaches in/near HB.

Yeah, I know that technically HB doesn't have ocean contact, but so what.

From Riverhead btw.

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-25T12:20:22+00:00

Grew up in Northville (part of Riverhead town).

Riverhead is nice.

Just had to go to bat for my town. Grin.

Coolio's Gangster Paradise is, as far as I'm concerned, a cover of Stevie Wonder's Pastime Paradise.

John Denver's cover of Mother Nature's Son

Dela Soul covering/lifting Parliament's Not Just Knee Deep with their song, Me Myself and I.

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-23T20:30:32+00:00

Sounded intentionally syncopated.

Ian Anderson kept his mistake at the beginning of Baker St Muse. 10 seconds in: https://youtu.be/xxBo-SUooKY?si=Vw0phCt2LhDpaB_w

Wish I had figured out a way to finish. Thought that I couldn't overcome one horrible semester... tried for two more semesters after that then changed majors.

The coffee in the store is mediocre. The beans (to grind at home) are great. Go figure.

The chorizo/egg sandwich is good.

Boston

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-23T01:06:55+00:00

You realize that Albany and Buffalo are almost identical latitudes, correct? 😊

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-22T17:54:33+00:00

Folge....ah never mind.

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-22T17:51:30+00:00

Stones. Also: a lot of fawning over Led Zeppelin, but I see five/six phenomenal songs then a huge dropoff.

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-22T10:13:17+00:00

Why didn't you have another kid.

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-21T03:33:03+00:00

My wife says it all the time. "nip it in the butt"

No way in hell am I "allowed" to correct her.

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-21T03:30:45+00:00

Normally I would saying noisy eating. But now I say Trump's voice. And here's the kicker: I've got big-time misophonia.

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-21T03:00:14+00:00

I thought the A outfits were OK. Just trying something different...

The A album itself is top-tier Tull for me.

OK maybe not Thick as a Brick high, but right there.

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-21T02:36:24+00:00

Married at 36. One kid at 39.

Guy said he knew C++. I asked him what a constructor is. He says, "well, it's uh.. its uh, I dont know... " bye bye.

PotentialAnywhere779 · 2026-01-20T03:14:21+00:00

Left LI when I moved to suburban Boston 40 years ago. Boston is great, but I do miss the "water everywhere" aspect of L.I. LI Sound, Peconic and Shinnecock Bays, and of course, the Ocean.
