that sounds so great Jay H. you're lucky to have the experience!
To the guys and gals who mentioned the desert island... I spend most of my working life on desert islands, they ain't all they are cracked up to be!!! (civilization kicks their butt!!)
For me it would be a comfortable large high cieling room with a fire place, sort of stereotypical gentleman's club type setting. Comfortable arm chairs, good conversation if you were so inclined, privacy and a paper if you didn't, drinks service, the whole wood paneling and leather bound books kind of vibe, minus the pretentious people. i'd love to create that setting somehow... who knows maybe when i get off the ocean!!
