  1. We were in North Lake Tahoe last weekend for my son's lacrosse tournament and the weather was perfect. Oh, if you ski or board, Squaw Valley has trails open until July 7.
  2. The Hyatt Regency in Incline Village has a casino and sportsbook Kings Beach is nearby and has a lot of water activities Downtown Truckee is worth a visit https://www.truckeeriverrafting.com/ if the water is not too high Dinner/drink cruise on Lake Tahoe
  3. We're going on an Alaska cruise next month with my wife's mother and sister (plus her kids and boyfriend). My wife will get quality time with her mom and sister, our kids will have a blast with their cousins, and I'll be stuck with the Trump-supporting, QAnon conspiracy theorist boyfriend.
  4. August: Weird Al September: Bob Seger October: The Who
  5. Three great movies are on TMC tomorrow: The Longest Day, A Bridge Too Far, and Battleground.
  6. We're planning on being there for the 76th anniversary. Already told my 11-year old son and 8-year old daughter we'll be on the beach before 6:30 AM.
  7. My kids and I took a moment at H-Hour to remember the brave souls who risked and gave their lives for the freedom of the world
  8. Thanks for all the feedback. We're definitely adding a day/night for Mont Saint-Michel. After that, we have a travel day + 3 full days before flying back. My parents are >70 and my mother needs frequent stops when in a car, which is why I was looking at travel via train. This is likely the last chance my parents have to visit Europe so I want to maximize what they see vs. quality time with family. A train ride across France and Germany with my Dad would not be a bad thing. Especially with a bar car. My kids, wife, and Mom will have Wi-Fi, so they'll be set.
  9. My wife and I (plus kids, ages 9 and 12 next year) are planning on taking my parents to France next year (except to Canada and Mexico, they've never been outside the US). Right now, we're planning on 3-4 full days in Paris before heading to Bayeux to tour the D-Day sites for 2-3 days. The question is where to go next? Going back to Paris would allow us to not rush the first part of the trip; however, I'd love to visit Munich (1 day train ride). We could also go to London and visit one of our nieces. Any advice is appreciated.
  10. Tex-Mex, BBQ, country western music venue
  11. My wife and I were at the new Lotus of Siam location a couple of weeks ago. Didn't have a reservation; however, there was seating available in the bar area.
  12. Check out Hugo's Cellar (steakhouse in the 4 Queens)
  13. "and essentially no obstruction"

    Comedy

    I've been a stand-up fan since I was a kid listening to Steve Martin and Robin Williams (albums not CDs). I loved it when Comedy Central first started and the only thing they showed were stand-up segments. When I'm sober (currently sitting in a diner in Vegas eating wings and trying to finish my double Jameson), I'll post some of my favorites.
  15. Fuck you https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/31/opinion/sunday/nixons-vietnam-treachery.html
  16. We did the Alaska cruise when our kids were 3 and almost 1 (MIL loves cruises). It was fun; however, we didn't get to do any of the cool excursions. Now that the kids are 11 and 8, I'd do that cruise again.
  17. One shot?
  18. There are people that don't do this?
  19. How many investigations of Hillary Clinton were conducted by Congress during Trump's 1st two years? You know, when the Republicans controlled both chambers of Congress.
  20. I just found that the white guy in the movie ended up playing Carmine Lupertazzi in The Sopranos
  21. George Jefferson
  22. Trader Vic's in Emeryville (across the bay)
  23. Texas Tech is going to beat Virginia
  24. There was a MAGA hat-wearing old dude in our neighborhood in Oakland today. He was standing in/on the median waving at cars. He definitely chose the right area of Oakland to do this as we have an abundance of over 50 hippies. It would have been a different outcome if he posted up in West Oakland or down by 77th-90th Avenues.
