Thanks again everyone. Went out to dinner last night with my wife and our kids. Went to a seafood place down in Port Jefferson. The wife and daughter each got a pair of lobster tails and me and the son got all you can eat crab legs. The lobster bisk was very good as was the rest of the meal. I did want steamers for an appitizer, but it's not the season for them.

Belated b-day wishes, oldr! Sounds like a good time was had by all.

We actually talked, more importantly, I listened. I didn't have that voice in my head wondering when the waitress was bringing my next drink. And the bill wasn't too bad. Usually it's $50 higher from all the cocktails I would have.

Remember: A wasted youth is better by far than a wise and productive old age!
