Our extended family is looking for a spot for an August reunion this year and is thinking of the Hudson Valley. Ages from 8 to late 70's. Would like to have a wide
variety of activities available. Suggestions for areas to use as a base to explore would be appreciated; thanks!

I ended up with an extra Fitbit Ionic over the holidays, so I'm selling one of the extras. It's new in the box, with the two sizes of bands. The smart watch has GPS, a heart monitor, can store music for playing on a bluetooth device, and is water resistant. It's a charcoal band with a smoke gray cas...

How the hell did you manage THAT? The super-duper, handy navigation app got us TO the train station in SJC, but put us on the street just to the west of station and across the tracks just as the train was arriving. Michel hoofed it across the tracks and managed not to get mangled. Good recovery. Br...

You're welcome. Todd told me to make sure I ran you out of town, so I complied.

Good to see you, Jay. I think you brought those spring rolls? Pretty damn tasty!

Thanks again to Todd & Jen for hosting. Some wonderful food (how can you go wrong with Flannery?), and now we've all learned to use bread to sop up meat juices! Who knew?

Plus good people and good tunes; a most excellent Saturday night. Thanks!

I'll bake a dessert of some kind. I also should be able to bake one of my sourdough loaves.

Just got back from my trip; thanks for all the suggestions! Lots of great outdoors activities, especially hiking along the Deschutes River Trail. It was also fun to take the summer chair lifts up Mount Bachelor and hike around up there--great scenery. Also a day trip to Crater Lake (although a lot o...

Bruce Leiser_owitz

Thanks again for all the suggestions. We DO have SHARQ passes, so I'm sure we'll use those heavily as well.

We have a large enough group that we don't all have to do the same activities at the same time--one group can go off and do one thing; another group can do something else.

Bruce

Bruce Leiser_owitz

Thanks for all the suggestions so far!

I'll be going up to the Sunriver OR area with my family, and we could use recommendations for things to do, places to go, things to see, where to eat, etc. Since Bend is just up the road, I assume we'll make at least 1 or 2 drives up there as well. Many of us like to hike, so hiking recommendations ...

I'm redoing my wet bar area, and I have an extra 50 bottle wire wine rack available. Free to a good home; you must pick it up here in
Los Angeles. Fairly lightweight; email me if interested.

Thanks for the interest.

55 is young? I remember when we weren't supposed to trust anyone over 30!

R.I.P. Alan; hope you're stirring up some shit somewhere.

Bruce

Bruce Leiser_owitz

Yes, the label on the 1994 looks artificially "old." Perhaps photocopied several times and then roughed up to look older. A properly stored bottle of 1994
should have a nearly pristine label.

Before I list this elsewhere on the Interwebz, I thought I would mention this here in case there's any interest...... I've got a custom-designed ring for sale. It's an 18k gold ring, with a center opal and a halo diamond setting around the opal. I selected the opal (which is MUCH higher quality than...

I read the decision as simply holding that a state that imposes a two-year residency requirement before granting a license is going to have that requirement invalidated under the dormant Commerce Clause. Even the TN AG's office agreed that the requirement was invalid, and the State of Tennessee itse...

Just throwing this out here in case it helps..... A very good friend is subletting his furnished Santa Monica one bedroom apartment for July 5 to Aug. 3 (ish) at his cost of only $1700 for the month (ish). This is a screaming deal for a lovely furnished apartment within walking distance of lots of n...

Just bumping this in case someone might need an offsite wine storage locker in West Los Angeles; let me know.

Here is a link to today's oral argument:

I think there will be a LOT of discussion within the Court about just how narrow/broad the ruling should be.

I guess what I'm saying is weddings generally aren't wine appreciation events. Don't waste what won't be understood or appreciated. +1. In addition, I wouldn't have too many different wines opened; it's a bit too confusing and many of your guests won't appreciate the tasting opportunity. Unless the...

This has been one of my go to dishes for years. I don't add the cinnamon. I do add a small bit of maple extract to the potatoes along with mashing with a bit of heavy cream and butter. The extract gives a bit more maple without additional sweetness. I make a small pitcher of butter and maple syrup ...

A friend passed this along to me; I've made it twice now over the Thanksgiving holidays. It's super easy, but you'll want to taste and retaste the chipotle levels to make sure you get the right balance. You want the spice/smokiness of the chipotles in the final blend, but you don't want them to take...

Bruce Leiser_owitz

Still have at least one locker available if anyone needs it.

I'm reorganizing/consolidating boxes, so I'll have a few offsite lockers available starting next week in West Los Angeles. They are
paid up through next July, so I can provide good spaces at very favorable rates for a convenient location. Email is best for details.
