The Shangri-la Clubhouse

In that it appears that the Monster Thread has died a quiet but noble death, I propose that this thread take it's place. Hopefully, it shall contain all that was good about the Monster Thread -- a thread of peace and tranquility, of humor/humour, wit, satire,and silliness. It was an oasis from all the troubling news that is all too real in the world "beyond the horizon". It provided all who came a cool drink of water and a momentary respite.

Personally, the Monster Thread was a place where I could wish you all a peaceful good night, or greet you with a smile and a cup of freshly brewed coffee.

We cannot recreate the Monster Thread, just like it is not possible to recreate the original Woodstock. It is something that just happened, with no overt plan, no rhyme or reason. Yet, in my honest and sincere opinion, it served a valuable purpose for our community. Friendships were made in this thread, and only concerns and worries were lost, albeit momentarily.

Thus, I propose that this thread inherit all the good qualities of the Monster Thread, and, as the Phoenix before it, rise out of the ashes of technological "flames". I would also propose that the Shangri-la clubhouse have no leader (sorry Kosh for your one-term in office postion). Let it be free to wander where it might go, free from the talk of more serious and relevant matters that have their open debates in all the other threads.

RIP Monster Thread. You were of, by and for the people of ehMacLand.

In the words of William Wordsworth

"What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;

We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be."

Afternoon all. A cool'ish break here today, after our storm last evening. It's been overcast, breezy, with a temperature still in the teens. High in the 20's still forecasted. At 12:40pm, the sky is still basically overcast, but it's starting to brighten, so expect the temperature to warm up considerably this afteroon.
Having a little red in the glass at present, while I tend to some pre-dinner prep's in the kitchen. Nothing fancy today -- leftover rice, enhanced and stir-fried with some veggies, including some kidney beans (have the beans boiling away at present), sausages, and fresh fruit salad on the side.
Have a great afteroon and evening!!

Not quite 4:00 here, but I see no good reason to put off Tea Time.

Just came in, 27.5° out there, humidity at 57% - I don't do too well in hot weather, so I'm back in my office in the basement with the cats.

Having a cool Creemore lager

Anyone care for a pretzel? they're still crisp.
Bill, that sounds like a grand plan. I love NYC -style pretzels.

I'm in. A cold light beer with a wee shot of Clamato juice is doing it for me right now! Perhaps a shandy next? :D
Just past 9PM here, but a beer sounds good. It is still 23C with a 31C humidex reading.

Yikes! I forgot I had four cans of Kilkenny draught in the fridge. I may have to have one of those babies too!

After all, they might get lonesome. :D
Now you need three friends to join you so YOU won't get lonely. :D

Morning all. Time to rise and shine and face the new day. I am in grading mode as I try to get all my grades in by Friday. Then, I am off until Sept. 4th. So, I shall make a nice breakfast to help one and all get ready to face a new day. Enjoy.

Morning everyone. Happy grading time Marc!! Will check out the SAP soon Don. But first a little coffee to 'open' the day. Off to get a haircut this morning. It will provide my morning walk as well, and a chance to chat - my barber's a very talkative type, and it's fun to share stories.
Hope the day treats everyone well.
Cheers!

Morning Marc, good luck with your grading deadline, but if you need a break, there is a cute JFL video on SAP this morning for you. Also lots of stuff to make you smile.
Morning, Don. Still chuckling over that JFL gag. Very clever.
