    No had no idea, but if you ever get a chance you need to walk the battle fields . At one time years ago I owned some land up in the area. It was always a good time going up to Gettysburg . If anyone is looking for a really cool fall get away the first two weekends in October is the apple harvest festival great fun! And of course anything APPLE!

    It appears that I'll be making this one as well. For those who wish to avoid me, I'll be there Saturday afternoon, probably wearing purple. :)

    I am a lifelong Browns fan, and have a sort of place in my heart for the Ravens. It helps that they're a class organization.

    This year's spring Baltimore show was the first time I'd been in town since the casino opened; the difference in the neighborhood was drastic and welcome after what it was for all my past trips. Used to be from the moment I walked out the door to Greyhound I was in Col. Cooper's Condition Yellow until I walked into the Convention Center.

    The funny part is, that area's a simple blue-collar neighborhood compared to where I live right now. :)

    Probably all it ever was, but I wander a lot of different cities on foot and tend to be cautious by nature.

    Well made arrangements today and since the funeral home as well as the church were booked solid we had to put off the funeral until next Monday. So that frees me up on Saturday . One heck of a day! :(
