hahaha Once I was going over the chesapeake bay tunnel/bridge and saw a submarine come up. It was one of the coolest things. Now every time I go over I'm looking for a submarine. I've walked on one a couple times, from WW!!. So claustrophobic I can't imagine being on one very long. This luxury sub ...

Both Leagues. I still follow my Baltimore Orioles, but after 20 years as season ticket holders my group of friends gave them up 3 years ago after watching Peter Angelos slowly destroy the team. After Cal Ripken retired, I now go to only a handful of games each year. Lately I've been having more fun...

Growing up in Virginia Beach, I had many, many occasions to interact with tourists. Most of the time I was asked questions such as "Where is the XYZ Hotel?" or "Can you tell me how to find the XYZ Bar/Restaurant?" . Since I was usually out at my favorite surf spot near the 1st S...
