Yup capitol hill. The block i live on his alternating italian chinese households. I think theres a city bylaw.

Cliff avenue united soccer jamboree this morning and my sons team of 10 boys has 5 asians and 5 italians.

We live in harmony and shoot the shit about noodles, pasta and marco polo

I think it means that, despite all the religious fervour of late, Zeus was actually gay.

Just kidding. There's no way a GREEK deity could be gay, could there?

I don't know about Zeus, but Newton that silly centaur definitely played for the other team...

So where is everyone headed this summer? Any exciting plans?

I'm off to Colorado and Utah this weekend and going to be biking and backpacking across the White Rim Road - a 100-mile backcountry dirt road through the Canyonlands that starts like this...

...and continues like this...

If I'm not back posting a couple weeks from now, you'll know what happened.

Looks awesome elo. Have a great time.

No big plans here. Family weddings and graduations means a few Baltimore road trips.

Hope to take a couple weekend road trips to the islands in the lake and Chicago.

Do you mean like Put-In-Bay? I never made it up there during my time in Ohio, but I heard it's a lot of fun.

Well I pray you good travels and limited time with the in-laws.

I'm heading to Montreal for a week in July. My daughter was invited to attend a Cirque du Soleil summer camp so we're turning it into a family vacation. I already have a few things I want to check out in Montreal, but please feel free to add in any must-see attractions.

I understand that Montreal strip clubs are second to none.
