Old timer here, I dropped off BN for a few years. Anyway, I lived in the USVI for 6 months back in 2006, spent about half of my time on St. Croix, seen just about all there is to see on all 3 islands. The Salt River Bay marina is a nice area, and is close to everything (though on an island that's on...

I thought Arizona finally gave in and started observing DST recently?

If she wants to become a trainwreck, that's her business, and I couldn't care less. Certainly bolsters K-dork's odds of getting custody of the kids, anyw...

Ugh...after spending most of last year in the USVI, this cold and snow crap really gets under your skin quick. I've been looking at vacation options for next month. Either scuba diving in Mexico or just plain raising cain in Ft. Myers if my parents will let me and my friends invade their condo for a...

I've had a touch of cabin fever lately, got some new reads to help bust the rut...

"Getting Stoned with Savages" by J Maarten Troost (his first one, "The Sex Lives of Cannibals", was good, I highly recommend it)

and

"An Embarrassment of Mangoes" by Ann Vanderhoof

Now see, this is what I like about my neighborhood. There are no less than 6 bars within 2 blocks of my apartment.

Just about done with "Survivor" by Chuck Palahniuk. Quite a dark satire (I know, shocking to anyone familiar with his stuff).

I'd rather see him have another mediocre year in GB than see him playing for some other team, so I guess I'm happy.

I think it's mostly a Wisconsin thing, but I HATE when people ask someone to "borrow me a dollar".. YOU borrow from someone, but they LEND it to you!

And I've been threatening all of my co-workers that I'll be wearing my Packers gear... unfortunately it's still in Milwaukee..

Hmm...and I was just looking for a place to take my date for the big day. This might fit the bill, I'll have to float the idea and see what she thinks...

No, she lives here in Chicago, too. Originally a Yooper, however; which is good because she's also a Packer fan

Hey folks, I know it's been quite a while since I lurked here, I've been busy. In the past few months: Done with the USVI work thing (it's still a mess, but my talents were needed elsewhere, someone else gets to try and clean it up) Moved to Chicago for the next work project (Chicago Public Schools)...

What was your first date ever???? We went bowling and drove around looking for something a bit more interesting to do. (hey, I was 17, give me a break) With your Perminant Honey? I haven't had that date yet. Considering my age, I'm beginning to wonder if it's EVER gonna happen. Best First Date Ever...

Finally finished Tom Corcoran's "Bone Island Mambo", on to "Don't Stop the Carnival" next.. (yeah, I know, I'm behind on my PH required reading list...)

Although this story is sad, it comes as no suprise to me. I love grouper and eat it often. I can usually spot a fake in a hurry. I once ordered a grouper sandwich at Cap's on the water (for you St Augie folks) and got tilapia. When I questioned it the wait person told me it was grouper, I'm not an ...

Well then I'd suggest not spending a considerable amount of time in the VI. EVERYONE here serves Mahi-Mahi, and none very well, I might add. It's like cod in the Midwest, you can't avoid it.

OK, I kind of know what it is, but I guess I don't fully know, because I don't understand why you use this instead of the outside bbq/grill or the inside oven. It sounds like just one more thing to clean and take up room. Someone please enlighten me!!! Well for me, I live alone so it's waaaay easie...

Interesting...I like some of the excuses they got too.
