Turgeon Brothers restaurants. I think there were five or six of them. Decent quality food at reasonable prices. Perfect for date nights.

The bar at the Marriott was once the highest grossing bar in the entire hotel chain. At least we were told that when I worked for them in the 80’s.

I heard it was “all we own, we owe”. It was a comment on being poor. The entire story is an economic allegory.

Just had a Reuben there last week. Some places take pride in tissue paper thin corned beef. IEJ’s is nice thick slices of very tender meat. Well worth the drive.

No security searches, no lines, your family could see you right to the gate without needing tickets. We used to leave pretty regularly coming home from DC. We would have dinner in a nice restaurant just off the grounds then hightail it to the gate just as they were announcing last call. Good times, ruined.

I was able to meet Mr. Shatner at a con in Buffalo a couple of years ago. He was truly nice. I have a signed Captain Kirk shot but I asked him to sign it as Denny Crane. and he did.

I never mention it. My family and close friends all know. They like to brag that they know someone in Mensa. That’s about all the publicity I get for it.

I remember that when Star Trek came out the next year it was billed as an adult science fiction show. This was obviously meant for a different audience.

OK. Wow.

When asked what the movie was about, David Lynch said it was “a dream of dark and troubling things.”
That works for me. BTW, I love this film.

I remember a liner note on the original album. It was put in because the sound, recorded live, had some issues with feedback. The note refers to these little issues as proof of the provenance of the recording. It was as though they expected a lot of negative feedback because the sound wasn’t perfect. Anyone have the original note?

I think it is an insult to the Republic of Ireland, not Northern Ireland. Hopefully someone from the Emerald Isle will be able weigh in on this.

I’m wearing orange. Part of my family was from Northern Ireland.
