Well, if there is anything wrong with this logic, I'm gonna be in big, big trouble - someday - lol...

As a bachelor (once again) I am no longer subject to these stringent regulations.
BUT I had been divorced and living apart from my ex for about 8 years when I wanted to use her address to have my lovely Martin that I'd bought on eBay delivered. I was living on my boat at the time and while we have a shared mailbox on the moorings, you wouldn't get a dread in a Geib case in there. To be clear, I no longer had any financial responsibility to my ex at that time. So, the guitar arrived , I called around and unwrapped it in front of her. She ain't no fool and could see and hear that this was no beater. "My God Jon ! That's beautiful , how much was it ? I'll bet it was about a thousand bloody pounds , wasn't it ?" Says she. "Wow ! That's almost exactly right, how clever of you to guess... " Says I. (It was exactly two thousand.... I could have told her really, but old habits die hard.) |

I'll repeat: I'm not saying what someone else should do or say. I am just explaining why some people think it's a funny laugh about cheating on your wife (and it is a funny laugh for them), whereas for some it's not funny. The difference being whether there is anything in your own personal past wherein "cheating on your spouse" is not funny and cannot be crafted into anything close to funny. I am not offended!! Carry on....

Two guys went into a bar.... And then people complain that alcohol abuse is no laughing matter, you shouldn't drink and drive, that they are a recovering abuser, etc and it really has nothing to do with what the guy is even talking about, even though what they are saying is very true, just not appropriate for the moment. Everything has its time and place and some people just don't get that I guess. Or maybe its me, I don't know.

And the laughs
...keep rolling in.
Perhaps I should note that I write for a living, and a few years back I used to make my living writing promotional copy for local news. No, I never used "a parent's worst nightmare!" but I was the guy who wrote all those promos. So if I wrote a scintillating, tasteless headline about cheating on my wife it probably has to do with my shady past. My apologies to anyone offended. Though you might consider moving over to the de-caf... Now back to working on SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW and IN MY LIFE on my new Taylor...

Don't worry. It was that quality of lovable sneakiness that first drew her to you!

Many years ago when I was just starting my collection, I used to try to sneak around and bring guitars home without her knowing.
The problem was my collection was so small she noticed a different looking guitars. We had a big "come to Jesus" meeting about me buying more guitars. We went back and forth until we agreed I could ONLY buy a guitar if it was used and I got an amazing deal on it. Well that started my pawnshop addiction about 8 yrs. ago. I've since bought a ton of electric , acoustic, and bass guitars. I was up to over 80 until I moved about 27 last year. I have so many now that I don't even have to justify what I buy now because I can sell guitars from my collection to buy others. The fact that I don't have to hide ANY guitar purchases and not have to lie about it is a weight of my shoulders.

GW, the real question is "how do you like those Halcyons?"

True. I am still pleasantly happy with them. The AJ is my every day go to guitar. The SJ gets its fair share of time. This is no knock against the Larrivee. It's just that the Halcyon novelty hasn't worn off. ( it may not)

You think they are up there tonewise with the Larrivee? Nice.
