As for PARIS, may I recommend the Ile Saint-Louis ---> https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/513757?source_impression_id=p3_1704212399_%2F0GIA1HOUYZmsPQB Ice Cream --> https://berthillon.fr/ Bistro --> https://www.lesaintregis-paris.com/ THE BEST in my humble opinion! Restaurant (very small - she owns it, she serves it, she makes it) -> https://anysetiersduroy.com/ (Enjoy! or should I say, Bon Voyage and ... Bon Appetit!)

So, I had "Go to Loch Ness and look for Nessie" on my bucket list, so I went... Here is my recommended place to stay (while you search for the Loch Ness Monster, etc.) https://www.unique-cottages.co.uk/cottages/highlands/inverness-loch-ness/bk7-strone-house?sa=X&ved=0CAMQFmoXChMI4MSepoy_gwMVAAAAAB0AAAAAEAw https://lochness.com/

HERE HERE! HAP-PY NEW YEAR!!!

NOTTINGHAM? HOT DAMN!!! Ya'll have fun AND TAKE LOTS OF PHOTOS AND VIDEO, this is going to be funny to see ya'll in person being your silly selves. OOOO goodie some fun stuff to watch in cold late Feb.

Yep

whatever.... There is good evidence that "aliens" have been around... like for over 250, 000 years, and so far we are still alive and kicking, and the Earth seems to be intact and thriving... I am a heck of a lot more worried about the crazy assholes that come into power and cause the masses to suffer. That is a real and present danger. https://ecstep.com/autocracy-is-hazardous/ The current world map of countries that have autocrats running them is freaky... Democracy, sooooo hard to get and seemingly soooooo easy to lose! https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/autocratic-countries Experts generally agree on several historical examples of autocracies, some of which are ongoing: The Soviet Union while ruled by Joseph Stalin Italy while ruled by Benito Mussolini Japan while ruled by Hirohito Germany while ruled by Adolf Hitler China while ruled by Mao Zedong Cuba while ruled by Fidel Castro Venezuela while ruled by Nicolas Maduro Russia while ruled by Vladimir Putin

awww! Thanks for posting photos, how adorable!

SWEET!!!

Well, sometimes, when he is on the other team, I call him relish. Yep he fits right in, put tags on that condiment STAT!

Thank you so much for your informative post! We all must be our own advocate, we must go ahead and get those tests - mammograms, colonoscopies, pap smears, prostate, blood work, vaccines, daily multi-vitamins, etc etc etc if we want to live long and healthy lives! GOOD LUCK to you and see you in the maps! Oh, and try to not over do it with the pain meds. I would take 1/2 of whatever they said (but then I am a little butt - not a big ol man like you) and sooner than I think the pains go away, oh and I tended to take pain meds sooner than they said but at least 1/2 hour, maybe that is why it works well for me, I do less but earlier... hmmmm ANYHOW, take care with addictive drugs! Feel better soon and play with us!

Gosh! Poor Funstick! Glad the surgery went well, now to get healed up. C U soon hopefully in the maps

NICE!

I am so so sorry! Thank you for letting us know, he sounded like a wonderful man. Please get better soon with your covid situation, hopefully everyone who has it will rally soon.

food is overrated.... folks have GOT to stop eating so damn much.... 2 cents (Drink wine instead...)

omg ya'll are soooooo weird...

YES! Do you go to Solomon's Island? Love it there. https://www.baydreaming.com/destinations/solomons-island-maryland/ some restaurants you can boat up to, dock, and eat - great views, great food.

Nice getting to know you better.

harumpf.... just sayin...

BLOODY! Nice to know about you. You and your wife are adorable.

lol -->

I saw that some communities are making their homes floatable. Very practical for the coming decades... https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2016/oct/29/floating-homes-architecture-build-water-overcrowding-cities-unaffordable-housing

WOW what a nice gift! And what a nice tribute to your dad too, who made such a great kid whom we know as Rugger.

Yes, I was happy happy happy to finally move away from the DC area... DO NOT MISS THE TRAFFIC, omg, etc. HOWEVER, I do miss the restaurants... Sweetwater, Not Your Average Joe's, CLYDES, Blue Ridge Grill, L'Auberge Chez Francois, Ashburn Fish Shack, oh and I miss Reston Town Center and old town Alexandria. https://visitalexandria.com/the-best-of/top-18-things-to-do-in-old-town/ https://www.washingtonian.com/2023/01/25/the-100-very-best-restaurants-in-washington-dc/ Reston Town Center https://northernvirginiamag.com/style/shopping/2023/08/18/reston-town-center-your-guide-to-the-vibrant-shopping-and-dining-destination/
