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."

Morning all. A beautiful sunrise is forming in the east, so I shall take a cup of coffee out back to great the new day.

Morning Marc, the furnace is running here at just 6° out there this morning. Way too cold for July, we are 10° below normal for many days now.

Just for you this morning on SAP, two things of interest, first an epic curve ball in our mini clip and then dogs welcoming soldiers home in our full video. Enjoy!
Yikes!! :eek: That is cold for the end of July.

Taking Deborah to a fancy restaurant this evening. Yesterday was our anniversary, but too hectic a day. So, today is much calmer and a better day to celebrate.

Would it be at the new restaurant that I read about in our local paper last week or so that setup on a frontage road in St. John's that's serving genuine Newfoundland fare?

I didn't care about their offering of a offal dish nor the lamb hearts. :(

Is that really "genuine Newfoundland fare" type menu dishes??

No, Bianca's has been around for awhile now, Patrick. It was that place or Raymond's, which is really fancy. Could not get a reservation there. :(

Not sure about traditional "Newfoundland fare", but there are some meals that are traditionally from NL.
