Forty-three years! Unbelievable. Miss Elaine moves to the head of the class.
I know I'm early but will be out of town this week and no computer, so . . .
All the best to the best.

second that. been jawing a bit with mr roy lately and he sounds great. a tough coonass if there ever was one and the blond bombshell is in a class by herself.

makes me proud to know em.

Thanks guys...its been a helluva trip for 43 years....we decided to get married after we knew each other for a week, but I was in law school and she had a paying job.....

I do feel great and heading shortly to my main cancer doc to stun him with my massive weight gain since last checkup....Blue Bell ice cream...good ole country style, as the ad jingle says....two gallons a week by doctor's orders.

UV congratulations. 43 years and only 7 more to 50. I know that we all will be giving you the Big Congratulations when that milestone hits.

Congrats.

She let you buy a B31, hang out at the camp with Andre, and have 7 (or is it 8) UVI's!!!

Have not met her but she must be quite a woman.

Best of luck with your health. I need to get back to TSL to fish with you and the group when things for all of us improve.

Congratulations to a couple of Super Folks. Ya'll have come a long way since the shrimp and beer for dinner days...

Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Thanks again guys, its been a great ride.

Our son, Capt. Brent, dropped off a sack of super salty oysters last night on his way home from Venice. About as good as they get, perfect size, clean, etc. I been slurping them down as fast I can can open them. Screw you, FDA.

I'm getting ready to do a big ole Boston Butt stuffed with garlic on the BBQ pit for a day or so, and the Bride is making her famous cornbread dressing, which of course will be loaded with oysters lightly saute'd in butter, garlic, and olive oil, just till they curl. Will have our kids, spouses, 7 grandkids, and probably some hangers-on for Thanksgiving.

Thank all of y'all again for your good wishes, and particularly for your support when things looked pretty bleak......it meant an awful lot to both of us.

Vic

Forty three yrs. Boy how time flies with a great gal. Both of you are winners. I would imagine it was a very good ride. Congrats!

Tonight I'll raise a glass of Black Label and cheer on that epic ride....40 plus years with someone....that's something you don't see often nowadays!

Salud!

Vic, Your oyster saute has made me the hit of several parties and made my stomach smile every time. Damn that's goooood.
Happy Thanksgiving

Congratulations Uncle Vic...

I am catching up with you.. we have been married for 40 years.

In the past 18 months I have by coincidence met the two main squeezes I had before meeting my wife.. and seen them in action with their husbands.

No question in my mind that I made the right decision.. I would hate to see where I would be today if I hadn't had my wife supporting me in some of the crazy things I have done!

The first forty are the hardest.. the rest is a coast downhill. Hang on, it should be a great ride!
