Deep Bowl before Thanksgiving Dinner.
Mid-Depth Bowl after dinner.
Super-shallow bowl after dessert and turkey sandwiches.
Mark Twain was asked what his favorite word was. His reply, "Thanks".
I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving.
I know I have much to be thankful for. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | T-giving plans were very much in flux this year, but seems to have come into focus. Talked about an extended weekend in Mexico - didn't happen. Wife talked about flying east to see the kids - did that a week earlier. Moody talked about visiting - didn't work out. Sooo, turns out it'll be the wife and I along with a family we know. Julie is a "Big Sister" to this 10 year old girl who has a pretty unsettled life. Mom is on prison, lives with grandma but it's just a mess. disabled great-grandma now lives with them. They haven't got a pot to pee in. You can picture it. Anyway, we're having that whole gang over for T-giving so that should be pretty interesting. Makes me thankful for how boring, predictable and comfortable my own life is. Dave |

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! While you're at it, be sure to say a prayer for our boys & girls in the service - they will be missed this holiday. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | Andrew, I know that Dave is an advocate of those contour bowls, and he is far from being fat, so there must be some other reason for them. I didn't care for the feel on the one I tried.
I don't know if I'd buy anything from a skinny baker.
By the way, what happened to that Ultra GS you bid on. I thought I'd sneak up on it. |

We get to have ours when the crops are fresh off the field and after Hallowe'en there's little other that Remembrance Day to interrupt all the Christmas presents you're making...
Ri-ight! |

Y'know, if you just keep putting up new strings as the old ones burn out, you get a nice 'garland' effect around the eves of the whole house!

Just like Jason, I too was in a similar situation many years ago where I once found myself lining up for food stamps. Now that I'm in a more comfortable living position, although far from perfect, I don't forget where/what I once was. |

By the way, what happened to that Ultra GS you bid on. I thought I'd sneak up on it. I got outbid at the very end, on a busy work day when I didn't have time to stop. I wasn't too serious on it, just curious, and at that price...
Oh, and for the record, I'm far from skinny. NOT a thin, "in-shape" guy approaching thirty...more of a average height, average build with a bit more than average gut fluctuation... :rolleyes:
Honestly, I haven't found an Ovation bowl I don't like...just different. The contour on the 12-string is awesome, but I don't really care for it on the 2005's I've played. I like playing the shallows on stage, (not from gut interference, by the way) but overall I think the mid-bowl is still my personal favorite overall.
Got to go sleep off the turkey now...I may change my mind about the reason for the contour tomorrow... :eek: |
