I love his 1980's Bond movies. Thanks for the memories, Roger.

In addition to the Bond films I really enjoyed his portrayal of Simon Templar in the Saint. RIP Roger!

I think he's the best bond. I know, I know, but I grew up with those movies!

Bob, Is this what it took to bring you out of hiding? Unless I'm mistaken, you haven't posted in years! Welcome back!

Thank you Marc. About 4 years to be in the ball park.

A lot of personal hurdles got in my way -- retirement, couple deaths in the family, a dead broke single brother-in-law suffers a stroke (he's still in rehab & Room & Board alone is $7,800 a month - wrote a check last Monday for another 30 days), etc., etc.

There just wasn't time to concentrate on anything that was fun. I decided I'd make time.

Bob

Bob, I'm sorry to hear about that. We have missed you, so I am glad you are making some time to visit your AA family. I remember buying some tubes from you once upon a time [emoji106]
