Hello from Michigan

[Dr. François]

Welcome!

My best advice: drink bourbon, not too much, 100 proof and over is better, start with an ice cube, put the last 50mls of your bottles into an empty mini bottle and save it for later.

dude, welcome to the site! Coin collector? there are a couple here- I actually sell quite a bit of "junk" silver coinage that I collect as part of my job. one of the cooler coins I've found at work was a 1899 S barber quarter, but a friend of mine topped me with an MS64 1887 CC morgan. I have a set of jeffersons that includes a 1945 DDR and a 1943/1942.

As for science fiction, I am a huge fan. I started off life reading Asimov, Heinlein and Chalker, and since then have developed a taste for McDevitt, Modessit Jr, Dan Simmons, Spider Robinson, Brin, Pohl, Gould, and many, many others that I can't even think of right now.

as for not upsetting the wife, that is ALSO a preference that I share with you. I think I've been operant conditioned into that one!

and Scott/Corvallis was definitely kidding. the internet just removes some integral personality from posts, and it can take a while to get used to people's sense of humor here.
