Bawl-more!
Ahhhh, vacation. I just returned from 6 glorious days and 5 sweaty nights in Bawlmore, MD, and what a time it was. It was great to see the Spape clan assembled in one place, drinking, eating and carrying on in the fine family tradition. We saw Morris Day & the Time do the bird on Friday, and the Diabolical Biz Markie worked the crowd with a deejay set on Sunday, all at Artscape, and good times were had by all. Food… oh, we did some good eatin’. Freshly sawed up chicken parts at Pollo Rico, an outstanding french meal from the fine, fine folks at Petit Louis, great Mexican food at some place I can’t remember, pierogis and kielbasa at Ze Mean Bean (a Ukranian place with an awful name), uncannily delicious chicken salad (and coconut cake) at Cafe Hon, fresh rockfish/flounder/corn/etc purchased from one of the many fine indoor markets in town and grilled up at home, and lots and lots of Natty BO. We also saw a truly great exhibit of Shomei Tomatsu’s photography, went to a great little waterfall up in B-More county (I think), did some MacGyver-style repairs on my sister’s new BMW, met some cool Baltimorons, got bitten by insane MD mosquitos, got tremendously sweaty, and enjoyed a 7-hour delay on our return flight (peace out, Spirit air). Good times, for sure - and thanks to my family for rocking the bestest!

p.s. I forgot to tell you: You’re blog is so much better designed than 95% of blogs out there, seriously. I am so sick of the two column blogspot b.s.–you should make it your missionary purpose to teach motherfuckers CSS and PHP and angel dust and all that so they can look as good as you! Maybe this is the weekend to set my new wordpress blog up, ’cause blogger is bunchin’ my panties, what with its random deleting of entries and images… BTW, you are the man, smandre, and HTML IS YOUR BITCH!!!!

awesome. You have experienced the steamy vagina that is Baltimore. Wel, today it is more like the hot breath of 20 panting dogs. I have been recharged with Greweness and can forge on in a place that is not my pleasant peninsula for awhile longer(as soon as my liver enzymes return to their normal levels). Thanks. All the cats and Kofi miss you very much. Especially Harvey, if you know what I mean… Ben and I miss you too. So keep on relaxin with the skelaxin and I will see you soon.
