Gee, thanks Gary, for the kind words.  If I didn't know you better, I'd think you were schmoozing for some free shots.  You're not usually so complimentary in your posts....    Just kidding!!!

Actually, the espresso, skis, etc., just fit into an overall rich life (and I don't mean in a monetary sense), and a philosophy that if you're going to do something, then do it well and get good tools to do it with.  And along with the good tools, comes learning, inquisitiveness, and becoming knowledgeable on the subject, so that you can do it well.  Good food, good wine, sports, art, literature, hobbies, crafts....they all fit into a full life.  That, and an unwillingness to compromise and settle for poor quality stuff, whatever that may be.

Holy moly....look at me getting all philosophical here...OK - enough of that...back to being loopy!

BR,
