Marty, we're going to be on the Plaza one day at the end of the month.
Some classmates have made luncheon reservations for a group at Jack
Stacks. I've not been there and wonder if you know what might be good,
bad or indifferent. We're all from the hometown of Bruner's, and I can
attest that some of the organizers enjoy good barbecue, so the place
must be pretty decent. What's your opinion and suggestions?

Thanks for the information, Marty. it's just a minor get-together of
classmates in anticipation of a class reunion that weekend. Several are
now from the KC area, and speak highly of the place. It's near the
Embassy Suites where we're staying, so it'll be convenient for lunch. I
also look forward to seeing what Tredway Hall has become. Back in the
60's, I worked my way through UMKC rewiring many units in Tredway Hall
and <shudder> doing plumbing repair.

The lesson I took from Tredway Hall and UMKC is to never, ever, let your
boss know that you can do plumbing repairs. It's far smarter to just be
dumb. Once he found out I'd spent many a weekend doing plumbing and
electrical for contractors and my Dad at his hotels, I was the person
"on call" at 3:00a when some idiot would flush a pair of soiled
underpants and plug up the works. There's just something about pulling
a loaded pair of drawers out of a toilet at 3:00a that I find
distasteful. <grin>

I now return you to the thought of barbecue, and not what it becomes.
<double grin>

Your honor, I apologize to the court. <grin>

To make things worse, we didn't have any rubber gloves. All I had was
an electrical fish tape I'd made up with the end made into a hook. The
good part was that 1) I made enough money to pay our tuition, books food
and rent; 2) I had plenty of incentive to stay in school so I didn't
have that to look forward to doing that for the rest of my life; 3) I
never bit my fingernails, and; 4) it prepared me well for my future
career in commercial finance.

I've never forgotten that even the worst stuff washes off.

- just finished a pizza we made using some left over pulled pork. It
wasn't bad at all, your honor. I've found that leftover pulled pork,
pulled or chopped brisket and other smoked meats are pretty decent in
leftovers when "dry cooked," like on the top of a pizza. When we put
leftover meat like that into a stew or other "wet" foods, for some
reason the smoke flavoring detracts from the product.
