I may have to drive up for business, so I thought we can get together that weekend...either to party or for a dayhike.

Here I thought Gem was trying out her Brooklyn accent. It could use some work. The proper term is "Yous."

Yooz can hang with me and whoever else is around.

We could do Washington or visit scary stuff in Baltimore.....Edgar Allen Poe's grave and #&%!$ like that and see some of Funky Old Baltimore.

Where might you have to go in Merryland?

Lz, and I didn't even try!! pretty good eh?

yeah MarkO!! Sounds great. I have to find out the details, also it's not a 100%. It's a client who needs my help with some control panels. I am sure it's a go though.

Westminster Hall And Burying Ground
The striking, Gothic Westminster Hall looms over its adjacent graveyard--

Good idea Marko. While the ghost eats the kids, you and Gem will have enough time to run away.

I have to go check out some court houses in Maryland. Some around Silver Springs. My baby brother's wife ditched him for an attorney. He's military & got transferred out west with custody of his 2 young children. The mother rarely calls but did tell them she re-married. If he can find out for sure then all his rent, car, insurance & maintenence payments to his ex-wife cease. She never works so he'd never get child care money from her.

okay...lemme get my notes.

thank you for letting me stay at your home for 2 nights. I know I was a wuss and went to bed at 12, but I was just so damn tired. I know your kids was glad when I was gone. lol

Thank you for showing me around in Baltimore. Great city! Too bad it rained, huh?!!!

Hey babe!!

The boys really liked you(I told them you were mean as #&%!$ and they better eat their broccoli!).
Actually you did them a favor kicking them out of the basement and off the dang computer games at midnight!
And they didn't mind a bit!

Sunday would have been a great day to see our fair city.....I had to work, whaaaaaa!!!

Please post pictures of William Wallace........"They'll never take our FREE-DOM!!!!!"(rrrrrrolling my "r's")

From Pa and lives in Port Terbacky, Merryland??
What's that big winding creek down there?
I did some canoe trips there twenty years ago.
We saw dozens of great blue heron.

Friday night was very nice, we must have been at San Sushi for dang near three hours.
Too bad we didn't enjoy ourselves!

Yeah same neck of the woods. It's amazing how woodsy that area is. Its a shame the camping is so limited. I live right off of rt. 6 but to the east of Laplata.

TechNtrek, we should get some of the locals together soon.
mjw666 is someone I would like to hang with.
And maybe we could entice the Bearmagnet away from his hood in old D.C.
He is funnier than a fart in church.

LOL, what a visual. Maybe a meeting near the 95 corridor to entice Bear up? Maybe somewhere near BWI? Any farther south than that and it becomes a real big hike for me to get home (probably with a few beers in the belly).
