    should have been, ... - I'm severely deficient in professional
    athletes, having met only one and having seen one more in
    action (didn't know who he was, just walked in on him giving
    a girl his seduction spiel featuring his Super Bowl ring).
    No pro athletes in my association, as far as I know... and not as wide a spread as yours, but I've had a reasonably wide range, from poor to rich
    and inbetween... and of many professions...

    As it turns out, I now remember a couple of
    minor leaguers in various sports whom I have
    met - they qualify as professionals, too, the
    same way you and I still qualify as professionals
    despite a diminishment in frequency of performance
    and prestige of venue.

    Once in a while it's good for Lucullus to dine
    with Lucullus, and one can go all out for oneself.
    Most of the time, though, a single diner is a
    neglected diner.
    I've done it when traveling, but I prefer company anyway... And have
    cooked up a storm on a very occasional occasion when alone at our family camping... but one has to feel pretty ambitious to do it just for one's
    self, true.... And, as I said, I'd rather have someone to eat with me, whether at home or camping/traveling... or dining out... :)

    I'm okay with solitude; but then I'm okay with
    really simple food as well.

    Glen I used to message with when he was still on... I think I only saw Kevin as a caller to Fidotel on occasion... But greetings back to Glen (and Leonore, whom I don't think I've met)....
    They were duly given, with scurrilous stories told
    about present echo members to former echo members,
    just as we're vice-versaing.
    It appears to be a echo tradition... :)

    Every group seems to have this particular tradition.

    We didn't get to see them. Glen, who used to tootle
    around in his little Mazda and ferry people (especially
    Kevin) around is less inclined to do so now. As I said,
    he's beginning to slow down - and has admitted that he's
    not so with it as he once was. Still, he's got that
    woman half his age urging him to go do stupid things with
    her. Yes, I did tell him to take her off his will.
    Probably a very good idea... especially if she's pushing him to an
    earlier grave... why should she benefit... ;)

    Though she may just be wringing all the possible
    life out of an 87-year-old. I'm suspicious, as are
    Leonore, Kevin, Nancy (Glen's onetime companion),
    and his daughters.

    ... What do cannibals make out of politicians? Bologna sandwiches.
    I read cannabis.
    OK I see how that could happen... ;)

    And I did it again. Of course, my close vision
    is getting worse now, catching up to my far vision.

    Agreed.

    I'm ok with simple food too... as well as with less simple... ;)

    and his daughters.

    With all those suspicious, one might well be concerned... He must be at
    least to some extent going along with her urgings, though...

    That's scary...
