Yup... it was a good year to ski in the Alps...

Having a great year so far with tomatoes... tons of cherry tomatoes so far. Each day I go out and pick new ones. Also tried a "Tumbling Tom" variety... needs to stay watered and it looks like a hot mess but it produces!

Now places like Obergurgl and Hochgurgl begin the process of clearing 12 meters (aka 40 feet!) of snow from a nearby mountain pass road into Italy...

I do all my own yard work including mowing and edging. I do it better and I'm cheaper.

Players like Lampkin are why I wish the NFL relocates a franchise to the Mexico City market. Cleveland isn't enough of a professional sports purgatory for some players. Mexico City would be perfect for Lampkin.
Written by someone who has not spent much time in Mexico City.
Nonetheless, he could use his Spanish skills so it would be a win-win.

Do not use dollars on Isla. Do not use dollars on Isla. I'll say it again. Pesos. You will get ripped off using dollars.

Yup... some places like A-Basin and Grand Montets still open but the list of open resorts is getting teeny.
Starting to think about 2018 ski season already? I may not have an ACL anymore but my PT says that based on how I am doing 6 weeks post-injury, I will most likely be able to go skiing without surgery. All I know is I am already looking forward to next season...

Bring a 3 month old with you
-
The Alps don't mess around... especially this year
-
"If you are dead-set on doing something that the baby won't remember" - its not about the 3 month old. It can be done, I'm telling you. So are others who have done it.

Kelly Clarkson was just getting her start at 8:38

Yes - exactly. I do agree a beach is the way to go. While I'm not an all-inclusives person typically, with a young baby, they are perfect. Food is easy, pools o plenty, beach, etc. Pick a place that allows you to upgrade to a privilege section or whatever they call it and you have access to private lounges and quieter pools. Worth it.

We took a 5 month old to Mexico... twice. You'll be fine.

You posted a picture of the Aquarium... I miss Ruth.
Go to the 1:00 mark...
If only I could find a picture of the original Comedy Workshop. Used to see T Sean Shannon, Charlie Shannon (was hilarious), Jeanine Garofalo... this was the late 80s and they were there on open mike night.
Charlie Shannon used to show up and just tear apart the audience. It was a riot.

Scroll down... Isla Mujeres, duh.

Just started watching last night... could be very interesting. Was a huge fan of LOST so we'll see if they can turn this into something worthwhile. LOST had some great characters. Will this show find guys like Locke, Hurley, etc.?
-
I have to agree... its a show I can't stop watching and, yes, Pauly D has always been the most likeable and oddly most reasonable character. Guy has turned his moment in the sun into years in the sun. Seems like he keeps his nose clean.

I wish I could convince my wife to do something like this.It's a great suggestion and your wife has no idea what she is missing. Three summers ago we stayed on the Gargano peninsula in Puglia and spent time on the beach, also took day trips on the peninsula and longer side trips to Alberobello, the grotte di Castellana (caves), Melfi in Basilicata, Laghi di Monticchio... it was amazing. Yes, everyone was awesome, the pace was easier and the prices drastically cheaper. Aside from Alberobello, we heard one American in two weeks. One. Mind you, this was in July during the middle of tourist season. People have no idea what they are missing out on.
As for wood burning ovens, I can drive two miles from my house and go to a pizzeria that uses the proper ingredients and had their oven built in and shipped over from Naples. I've had great pizza Napoletana in many places. Yes, not the same water but if you nail the other ingredients and cook it right, you can get great pizza napoletana in Rome, Trapani, wherever.

Too bad - there's so much potential and yet...
I hope they renew but only because I do enjoy the racing but they need to get their act together. I have no realistic expectation that they ever well, though.

Once again, concessions at COTA are a total joke... absurdly slow (if they move at all lines), watching workers struggle to figure out how to hook up extra registers, waiting in line on Saturday around lunch (not Sunday) and being told that advertised menu items weren't going to be available. Really? What a joke. I want to keep seeing races there but they need to fix so much... feels like we write this after EVERY event.

The MotoGP race was a yawnfest but, as usualy, Moto3 and Moto2 were great to watch. Really enjoying seeing Bagnaia battle Marquez in the Moto2 race. Great action!
Club / Select Soccer?
in Can You Help Me With This?

I certainly agree when it comes to baseball and football. Soccer? Not sure... look at other countries that excel in soccer. Brazil, Italy, Argentina, etc. They play soccer allllll the time. They live and breathe it. Yes, there are other sports like maybe basketball or volleyball (big for males in other countries) but for the most part they are playing soccer.
My son plays on a U9 team. They are year round in that they have a fall and spring season with breaks in-between. If I can provide you with any advice, focus on a club that emphasis player and technical development and not a club that focuses on exclusively winning. Those clubs often have a couple of stars who don't pass and just run up and down the field and try to score every time. Find a team that focuses on ball possession, passing, player development... eventually, winning will come. Those teams ultimately are the ones that end up putting more players in soccer academies and on college teams.
Oh, and our youngest does play basketball and baseball but as we just saw over the past couple of months, he'll put on his baseball uniform before a game and go outside and play soccer.
