MaybeACoordinator has passed away - Official Farewell Thread
He once wrote an article in the Houston Press about walking the length of Westheimer with a friend to discover the real Houston by walking through neighborhoods, shopping centers and office parks. He then decided to re-create the walk with any reader who wanted to join him. About six of us did and we spent a very enjoyable day with him, and yes, we stopped at a liquor store and two bars along the way. RIP.

Longhorn legend Lance Blanks has passed away
Wow, sorry about this. We spent an evening together at Sam Houston Racetrack with other people betting and losing but he told great stories and was such a nice guy.

HBO Max streaming service
Once Larry is done with HBO this year, then I am done also. Funniest show in TV history as far as I'm concerned. Been a consistent subscriber since the second year of The Sopranos. Liked GOT, didn't like the sequel much.

PSA: CT HEART CALCIUM SCORING
Did one because my cardiologist asked me to. Can't remember my exact score, but only one three millimeter spot, not in the LAD. Glad I did it. five minutes and cost me $140.

London-Paris First Timer
For Normandy and Paris— use Viator.com, they offer a number of Normandy tours. Most involve taking the train to Bayeux, a nice two hour ride through the countryside. Walk the Latin Quarter, it’s lively and fun with a bunch of nice bistros, chocolatiers and shops. The Musee d’Orsay is lighter, brighter and a nicer experience than the Louvre. Takes tour on the Seine. Bayeux Parisians offers a number of price and time options. So much more. We love Paris.

Where to eat in Katy
Pearl and Vine is ok- nothing spectacular. DaVinci’s for Italian is excellent. Very small, reservations required on the weekends. LaCenterra has Perry’s and Rouxpour. Local Table and Dish Society are nice casual places. Pho Saigon has great pho and other really good dishes.

Help me with my Ireland trip - certain caveats
The North and West are beautiful. Roscommon, Sligo and Donegal. Do yourself a favor and watch a short YouTube video on the roundabouts. There are many more of them in Ireland than in England.

The Italy Thread
Just got back from two weeks in Venice, Florence, Tuscany and Rome. We had a fabulous time and Michelangelo's David is the most magnificent sculpture I've ever seen. Food was great, wine was great--never more than 5 euros a glass, vistas were beautiful and the people were friendly. The shopkeepers were glad to see Americans come back and we had an incredible time.
