Happy Birthday, Ted! I hope your celebration doesn't get overshadowed by all the hoopla around Flag Day.

Thanks for the heads-up, Scott. Or was it NewsFetcher: "Today in Mandolin History ..."

Rock the heck out of it Ted. Just another year until real life begins (according to Udo Jürgens). I am still waiting for an explanaition about an Eschliman though. Keep in shape and don't let the sun catch you cryin'.

Welcome to the club! Medicare has done well by me. Thanks to it, and my supplemental insurance through AARP, when I had open heart surgery two years ago (my heart was too big; they had to take it down a size or two), my out-of-pocket expenses were only a few C-notes, out of what surely had a price tag of half a mil. Wish you the best of health, but if things take a turn, and just for doctors' visits, there's this.

@ Ted: I had to do a follow up on the Eschliman... The name comes from Switzerland. There the name is Aeschlimann. The "Aeschlimann" family comes from the Emmental in Switzerland. Mann of course is man. Aeschli consists of the diminuetive form of "li". An Aesch is the tree Ash. The name points to the place where the people live, namely near the small ash trees.

Indeed. The Wife and I had the pleasure of visiting my “hometown” in Langnau last October. We stayed in Lauterbrunnen most of a week. The scenery is mind blowing.
