I have pics from the Jacques Gauthe memorial concert for you. I'll see you tomorrow, so can have them for you then.

Is Specialty pizza still in business? I remember it as being very good :)

Specialty MMm, garlic bread pizza! infrogmation October 4 2007, 03:56:17 UTC

Yes, they changed the name to something like "Specialty Italian" (Hollie would know the details). When we went there 2 years ago they offered a "Special Katrina Overcomers" limited menu, and were closing at something like 4:30 to allow enough time to clean up and get home by curfew.

Thanks for saving the world twice over!
I keep thinking of you when I see announcements for this upcoming event.

Sounds like a fine event I'd be eager to participate in were I in that part of the country.

Thanks for reccomending "Shadow of the Moon"!

BTW, did that radar you showed us have any connection to Loomis Laboratories?

The best trips are the ones where you do something that would have gotten you shot in earlier decades.

I hopped between East Berlin and West Berlin about 50 times before it got old.

I didn't know they had an Enigma. One was selling on ebay a while back, going for the price of a new car, or SUV.
