Cleveland’s highest November temperature was 82 degrees F, recorded on this day in 1950. What’s the expected high temperature in your area for today? - They're predicting mid 80s today. Our fall temperatures (50s, 60s and 70s) don't get here until early November, low temperatures were in the upper 40s/low 50s this morning, so that gives it a fall feel.

Other We'd play in a friends business. He owned a sign shop in a downtown area, so we'd cover the plate glass windows with signs blanks and then play poker in his showroom. Every now and then the cops would tap on the glass just to make sure it was us that were inside and not some burglar.

Have you been to the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican? - No.. but I would love to go someday...I will remember to wear long pants and sleeves..Thanks Nim
Have you ever attended a concert at the Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco? No, but I had the album set "Fillmore: The Last Days" in almost pristine condition because I transferred it to cassette. I had "Chicago at Carnage Hall" as well..Notice I said had...They were stolen along with my lifetime collection of records. I cried for days. I have driven past the Fillmore as well when the ex and I were in SF for surgery at UCSF Medical Center...stayed at a hotel just a couple blocks from Haight/Ashbury...I was alone because he was in hospital...Wish I had a picture...felt like I had "arrived". Funny how such things can be insignificant to one but so meaningful to another?? When I told my ex about going there he was totally non-plussed and put me down for even going...one of the reasons why he's my ex.
Extra Credit Question:
Do you play poker ? - No, and I while I can tell some real whoppers I can't see it thru to the end of actually pulling off a real lie. So no poker face here!
If yes, where do you usually play ? With friends in your home or theirs At the casino Online At a club Other - I have a handheld poker game but I prefer Blackjack.
Bonus Question:
How far from your house is the nearest pay phone ? - There is one right outside my work. I live 5 miles from work. The last time I used one was a couple years ago to call home from the store..something about a pin number???
