Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
Hey, it works. I mean, maybe not on this wife. Or the next wife. But eventually, it will work. Just keep trying.

Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do
why would you tell your wife about shoulder pain that was obviously caused by the prior activity? You invited this nonsense on yourself.

Of course it is. But everything is worrisome right now. People dropping out of the work force. School quality declining. Both parties engaged in policies which appear to me to be nothing more than punishing the other side. Wild pendulaic swings in important legislation and judicial decisions. People moving from one state to the other to reinforce their political viewpoints. Refusal to distinguish between legitimate disagreement and hate. Using the magnifying power of the internet to push cultural change faster than society can actually handle (in good directions and bad). So yeah I'm worried. I can't imagine anybody watching the Capitol riot and thinking this is a good thing, or not being concerned that many people were angry enough to do it. Things are fucking crazy right now

It's a joke. The Republican party threw fiscal conservatism out the window during the W years, if not before. I really have no idea what their platform is now except for cultural warfare and conspiracy kookdom.

This is accurate no matter what issue you are contemplating. Work gets easier and everything else gets more confusing.

So don't vote for Biden or Trump? Got it. So what do we do exactly?

Or you can bust ass all the way up to Tiberius' Villa for amazing views but it's a slog.

You don't have any idea how I vote, or what issues drive those votes. I'm confident I am less partisan than you are, at a minimum.

I hesitate to write this. I am very skeptical of the trans movement (though I recognize that some folks are obviously trans). I am not an ally. But what is happening to you folks legislatively is not right. The function of government is not to ruin people’s lives and make them miserable (or worse). I object to the legislative animus. And I’m sorry you’re the target of it. I’m going to look into ways I can help your community as a lawyer.

Our processor in Alabama will not take them if you gut them. They got blamed for too many bad gut jobs that soured meat.

The Italy Thread
Connections are kind of a nightmare but I'm not ruling it out. This is very tentative planning. I really am not a big Florence guy but I hear you. I think my kids would prefer a day trip to Tivoli over an extra day in Florence but thank you. Got it. Thank you.

The Italy Thread
Okay, so crazy idea and I need some input. I lived in Italy for a semester when I was in college circa 1997, predominantly in Rome, but we pretty much went from Naples area to Florence and everywhere in between (I was a Classical Archaeology major, so we went anywhere there were ruins, but mixed in some Florence because it was Florence). Then I took my wife to Sorrento for our honeymoon in 2004. Anyway, I would like to take my family to Italy maybe spring break of next year. I was thinking arrive on Sunday in Rome, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday in Rome, Thursday train to Venice for half a day and travel to Florence, Friday in Florence, fly out of closest airport Sunday (Milan? Pisa?). I don't love Florence but think a day and overnight there would be good for the kids. In Rome I was thinking of Hotel Quirinale because of its convenient location and its being nice enough for the family to enjoy. Is this totally nuts? I don't want to stay overnight in Venice, but think the kids should see it. I don't want to spend too much time in Florence. I figure I'm going to have to fly out of Milan or Pisa and don't really care that much about time spent in either location. I'd hate to shorten Rome to two days. I think that would be tough. Any thoughts? I completely recognize this will be a whirlwind and does not do any of the places we are going justice, but that's life with kids.

LBGTQ
Serious question: when you say "but she's not a man so she shouldn't have ever been swimming with them," what does that mean? Was she not biologically male (with all perceived physical superiorities) at that time? I'm not starting shit or laying a trap or anything like that. I genuinely want to know what you mean by that. As for your last sentence, do you think trans women should be allowed to compete in ALL sports with cisgendered women? What about things like MMA?

Camden Yards is a phenomenal ballpark, but Baltimore is a shithole and I would completely avoid it.

I'd just stay in Philly and check it out. DC is great, but it's a separate trip. And there's some good places to eat in DC but COVID really knocked a hole in it. Independence Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art are both cool. If you're itching to take advantage of being on the East Coast, Philadelphia is about halfway by train between DC and NYC, so you can really do just about anything.
