USMB Coffee Shop IV

[SFC Ollie]

Hello all my old friends and other inhabitants of the Coffee Shop. Sure has been a while and so much has been going on. I still post regularly on FB and another spot. But find little time to find my way back here. It;s been 19 Months since I lost Mrs O. Seems like 19 years. Drove out to AZ twice, this last trip in April I kid of over did it and ended up getting 2 more stents, placed inside an old stent.... But I start cardiac rehab next Friday and I'm feeling pretty good. Still staying busy though. I am back as Commander of my American Legion Post, I am the Sergeant at Arms for my Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter. I am teaching a ceramics class twice a month at an assisted living home. And I am a member of the Circle of Trustees at the Butler Institute of American Art. That and an older Brother moved in with me....And he can barely walk yet insists he doesn't need or want help..... Good to see some of the old names.....

Always do the happy dance when Ollie drops by. I didn't know about the brother moving in with you though. Was that your idea? I wish I could take your ceramics class.

Goodness no, not my Idea at all.....

Hmmm. Well, hope it is not putting too much extra stress on you. You're a good guy for taking him in though.

One of my main regrets in all this is losing that great photo of you and Ollie that was posted in the original Coffee Shop. Actually we lost a lot of really great photos when the V-bulletin Coffee Shop threads were deleted.

The sex appeal on display in that phot is more than any woman here could bear.

OLLIE!!!
So glad to see you here again. Sorry to know of your loss. Glad to know you are the trooper I always thought you were. I wish I were close enough to stand you a beer, or whatever poison you prefer.
What is the Butler Institute of American Art? I could 'google' it, but I'd rather know what you would say.
It seems almost hard to fathom, but I've been retired 24 years this year. It doesn't seem that long. How about you?

The Butler is the only Major Art Museum in the world that is dedicated purely to American Art. (As far as I know)

It seems interesting, but I am unfortunately not in travel mode any longer. I'd love to see a few more things before I go.

If the ladies can tear their eyes away from the gorgeous hunks of manliness, they might note that your beloved Dallas Cowboys are on the TV in the background. That was quite something for you to turn away from the game for the snapshot!

Thanks for the memory and the visit, Ollie! I like you a lot.

The first thing I thought on seeing this picture was to wonder what unhappy Cowboys player that is on the screen.

If I had to guess, I'd guess Tony Romo. But he always looked unhappy or wincing in pain.

The Baltimore Ravens were rockin' Dallas 21-7. But, as I recall, that was the season the Ravens went to the Super Bowl. If they won that game, my beloved Steelers would be in a Wildcard race with two games left in the season. See that Christmas wreath on the window?

Next phase of the game is to find Waldo.

That doesn't look like Romo. Also, I thought the logo opposite the Cowboys one was the Redskins.

I saw the score as BAL 21. DAL 7.

I'm pretty sure it's 13-7 Dallas over Washington. The score you are seeing, in the upper right corner, is 21-7 Baltimore over New Orleans (BAL NO). The upper left is the score of the Dallas game.

On my way to bed for sure now, but for our morning mental exercise, are we seeing this guy in profile? Or is he facing us?
