Where do you even find that now? Right next to the St Ides Special Brew?
Here in PA I’d imagine still at the Wine & Spirits.

What a list. Don Criqui is one of those voices you didn't know you knew. He called NFL games from the 60s all the way up until the 2010s. I believe he was one of the announcers for the Miracle at the Meadowlands. But what I always think of is this:

But to be fair they ARE less filling.@Captain Dave Poulin they’re bringing back the old Miller Lite commercials. Unfortunately they’re not as great as the 80’s/90’s but it is what it is.
Hey, you asked about Cuba in the GDT but it closed before I could respond. On vacation. I will think about the snow....or maybe be not.Spring started a week and a half ago but we are getting another snowstorm the middle of the week.

Well...
got approval from work fully for the trip to Baltimore and New York in May.
So will be crossing the pond for the first time.
Pretty cool event in Baltimore. Greg Olsen is the Emcee.
Cal Ripken jr and Torrey Smith will be two of the speakers... will be hard not to try and collar Torrey and ask to see his ring.

I'm assuming it's in the inner harbor area of Baltimore?
At John Hopkins actually! But will probably be staying close to inner harbor as a result.
I recommend staying around that general area. I used to go to the convention center there every summer for like 10 years.
Been to it once and if Otakon was still in Baltimore, I would go more often, but if you want really good Ramen from somewhere (if you're in the mood for it), there's a place called Kippo Ramen. It's south of JH and east of the Inner Harbor.
Also, last time I was in Baltimore, it had a bit of a garbage smell .
Outside of being to Canada before 9/11, I've been to no other country. Going overseas though in July for 3 weeks.
I do love a good Ramen aha!
Berlin is one of my fave cities and it smells like rotten eggs half of the time aha.
I travel a lot. But 90% of my travel has been inside Europe... been to a 25/27 EU nations now (Bulgaria and Latvia outstanding).
But when it comes to going outside Europe? My list is Morocco, Turkey, Sao Tome and Israel... still cool ofc, but a trip like this one really gets me excited. Which is rare these days when it comes to work trips!
My work allows me to travel every so often, generally around the US, so it's kind of nice to see different places. However, not so much internationally or even too much to Canada, even though we have businesses there too. New Orleans was one of the more memorable places I went. That was fun.
