Heheh, yes, Lex, my husband (Tawse) is exceptionally gregarious, is he not? I don't know if you noticed the two handsome deaf men Tawse and I were with before we left. HOT men! And you don't have to be scared of Tawse (or me..) we are as harmless as we need to be. And the offer from long ago still stands, you are welcome in our home any time. Come find out if I'm as good a cook as I claim to be!
Stronzo, yes, The Hippo is a gay bar in Baltimore. My first time there, we usually go to The Baltimore Eagle when we are in the area. Come on down. DC is easier for me, but we can get to "Balmer," I think it's actually a little more fun (if you are interested in the "historical/educational/etc stuff", DC is the place... I do love the museums and architecture here)
Lellelind, if I ever get to Naestved to visit my incredibly beautiful Dansk friends, maybe we could meet somewhere in between.
GoneA, you know where Baltimore and Washinton are. <g>
Naughty, I'll meet you and/or Lex for lunch or dinner ANY time.
Pecker, thanks. As always, you are on target. That's the place.
Rikter8, I've done the trip back from Michigan to DC several times. I don't care how fast you LIKE to drive, there are limiting factors... do you know a better route that I don't know about? I hate the PA turnpike. I hate driving through Ohio. LOL and don't kid yourself if you hit the DC beltway. Between 5 am and 10 pm, more than 5 miles an hour just does not happen. But come on over, anyway.
Steve, bring it on.
Dolf, you are also welcome any time. We can definitely get ya drunk, but only you can decide if you want to turn to the dark side. I'm not headed north of the 49th any time soon, but it may happen eventually. In the mean time, if you ever get to visit DC, let me know. I love playing host and tour guide.
And Zora, we've talked about it before... it will happen... you know what I mean!
