Back in 1996 I left my law firm employer to go in-house with a client on a short schedule. On the final day at the firm I didn't have enough capacity to carry all my personal stuff down to the taxi. I went to the office of a close colleague, took a painting down off her wall, hid it in a corner and replaced it with my framed PA Supreme Court admission certificate. I asked another colleague how long he thought it would take her to notice. He said she'd notice right away. It took her months. Even funnier, is that she sent it back to me maybe 3-4 years ago.
This print is one of the few things hanging in my office. It's No 152 of 152 since they were handed out in alphabetical order and I was last on the list.

In different thread in a different forum a different poster attributed "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" to Guns N' Roses.
Sad.

Oh, is that what the initial stands for? My old boss in NYC was of the same last name. Nice guy. Interesting that he wasn't really into hi-fi despite owning one of the more prominent high-end shops in the country.

Ha. Could have been worse. If you ever want to repeatedly facepalm, search youtube for "do teens/college kids know [insert decade of choice] music?"

Nice wall art. That rescue at sea cert is quite something. Kudos!
This is on my wall. I'm not at work, so you don't get the framed version. A little wrinkled, because it came with my pal from Oz.
