    Pretty sure tomfoolery has offended more than a few Thomases.

      No, but I found a chink in someone's armor.

        There was a nip in the air today, I must admit.
        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

          Cool Runnings coach Howard Siler

          Howard Siler, was laid to rest on Monday after passing away at his home last week in Florida, according to his obituary.

          Siler was an accomplished U.S. bobsledder and for Canadians, the connection to late comedian John Candy, who played a version of him (with many artistic liberties) in the popular 1993 film Cool Runnings - a story about an American coach in Jamaica linking up with four athletes for an unlikely shot at the 1988 Olympic Winter Games in Calgary.

            Johnny Guitar aka Johnny Winter. Surprised he was 70. Looked 100 but I saw him play a few years ago and he was great.

                That's because he looked like a wraith.

                  The guy was an albino. I'd have never guessed he and his brother Edgar were only two years apart in age.

                    I'd have gone for "he looked like he chose poorly when trying to choose which cup was the Holy Grail".

                    Being a skinny albino doesn't make you age all that well.

                              I'm thinking Heroin was the deciding factor here. When he played the Blues fest, they had to put up a shade to keep him out of the sun. Even as frail as he looked back then the guitar slinging was awesome. He was scheduled to play with Edgar in Rockland Me. in a few weeks, I was psyched to see him play again, One of my favorites.
