anyway stay safe. This virus may be a boon to MGWCC since there is no sports to watch on TV and we can't go anywhere.

I have dog paddled to shore. Hopefully the correct one, but, at the least, correct enough with a tiki bar or two.

TPS = welcome to the muggles. Isaac will console you and you will make it to the shore sooner or later.

Good luck

The Beatles had been broken up for several years by the time my parents were in high school, so they never really listened to any of their music outside of “Sgt. Pepper’s” and “Abbey Road”. The “Love” compilation album came out when I was in high school and really got me interested in The Beatles, so I ended up buying the complete box set of all their albums in college. Funnily enough, I ended up introducing my parents to some of their older stuff (particularly, “Rubber Soul” and “Revolver”), and now we frequently have The Beatles playing whenever we get together for cocktails.

Good music is good music, no matter the genre or generation it came from.

"Now for all the Gen X'ers and beyond, for those of us who were in high school and college when the Beatles hit the scene, don't make us feel older than we already are by "I listened to them with my parents". Coronavirus targeting us is bad enough. LOL"

"The Beatles had been broken up for several years by the time my parents were in high school"

That is a most evil tweak at the cruise director. Best to make a sacrifice to the muggle god straight away. Guinness seems to be the drink of choice here.

My apologies. My comment wasn’t intended as a jab at Bob, but rather an anecdote to show how The Beatles’ music has transcended multiple generations. Either way, the next round is on me. Guinness for everyone!
