Oooh
Dibs!

It's watches like this that remind you why Rolex is a classic. While the name continues to be a turn off for me, some of their designs are just perfect.

I'm not much of a Rolex adept myself, but I must admit that the vintage pieces I've owned are absolute quality.

I find the regular Datejust or Day-Date watches rather boring, but this 'wide boy' dial is sufficiently quirky for my liking.

With lotsa pasta. And 7 fishes for Christmas Eve dinner.

I assume an improvised Thanksgiving holiday visit of a latino family of 5 would not trouble you or your lovely wife?

Turkey is fine for the girls, I personally will have sirloin. 馃槜

Thx, your friend Al.



PS: not sure we can stay until x-mas , though I won't rule it out. 馃榿

My brother makes a mean ribeye roast. Nobody in the family even bothers to try to top it. Will that suffice in lieu of sirloin?

Oh, and we do a rack of lamb. My wife roasts the meat, and I make the East Coast's finest Port reduction sauce. Only 3 ingredients - Port and 2 spices which I'll never divulge even if you guess correctly.

Dennis,

that is excellent news - just checked back with the folks - and we def. can make it from thxg. to x-mas... 馃槈

Wifey's cousin Enrique just popped in when we were discussing travel plans and he is making arrangements for Nov as well ... so to cut a long story short - we will be a party of 11 ... who would have thought ??? ... you guys are really lucky 馃憤

happy to bring the lamb or a goat - do you guys have a backyard where we could keep them for a couple of weeks? ... ::stirthepot::::stirthepot::

I wish you had mentioned this earlier in the year. I could have saved a TON of cash on a lawn mowing service if you had shipped either in May. 馃槣

Oh, and by the holidays my 2013 MacDonald To Kalon Oakville allocation should be here. Check out the secondary market on the 2012:

Yep, you saw that correctly - only one single reseller managed to get his hands on a single allocation of 3 bottles. However, we can raid the cellar for a nice '95 Burgundy or two to go with the lamb. Got some Ponsot and Bertrand Ambroise begging to be drank by a group whole appreciate them.
