    Best food in ATL airport?

    There is a Varsity in concourse F but I cannot imagine anything worse to eat before getting on a flight... Buy your way into a sky club. They are significantly more civilized than ever before. Free 420 will offset the $29 entrance fee.

    GWPs

    It’s funny. Every time you see an owner of a GSP or GWP, the immediate response is sympathy. “Oh, how are you holding up? Are you okay?” I have a 3-year old GSP, and I love that dog more than any of the many Labrador retrievers that I have had. HOWEVER, she is a tough dog to care for. I knew...

    Tally Event Space

    Pretty sure you can reserve the new half of the bar at Sage. Go there.

    Anyone else moving their kid into a dorm this weekend?

    Our oldest moves into Landis on 8/22. Nature has a way with transitions... when he was in second grade we fretted about middle school; when middle school came it was no problem. Then we sweated bullets over our baby going to the massive high school, but he ran the place after the second week...

    Best bars in Tally these days for over 25 to 40 crowd?

    The answer you seek was buried above. If you want a civilized place on the north side go to Sage. Restaurant/dinner experience is good but we mostly go to the bar for drinks and appetizers and to be loud with friends. Professional service, creative cocktails, and I think the food is good. They...

    Belgium & Amsterdam Questions

    Yes, stay out of the bike lanes. This is no joke. More bikes than people in Amsterdam. Somehow this is true. When you hear the pleasant ringing of a bike bell, something has gone wrong. Move over quickly. And you will drink liters of Jupiler at outside cafes. That’s the life. (And it’s...

    Best beach for a day trip from Tally?

    Smart choice. And for the love of all that is holy, swing by Paddy’s for lunch. Menu has: Oysters Beer Sure you could go to Doc Meyers with their longer menu and liquor. And yes, the bathrooms there do get cleaned, and even the tables get wiped down. And your server is familiar with personal...

    Belgium & Amsterdam Questions

    I’ve done most of this trip, just not Ghent so no input. Brussels - meh. A day is plenty Bruges - I loved this place. A lot. 2 nights is great. Stayed at Hotel Bonifacious. It is old, small, creaky, narrow winding stairs, on a canal, walking distance to everything, nice breakfast, very quiet...

    Which goal is more impressive?

    Agreed with everything on Bale’s goal. It was fantastic. But J-H-C, how about Karius? That poor bastard. Everyone makes mistakes and has bad games but hopefully not in front of 400 million people. Wonder if he makes the German roster next month.

    Daycare services Tallahassee

    Easy. Based on your location, take a look at Advent on Piedmont. It is a preschool instead of daycare but that fits with the hours that you are looking for.

    Yearly article- Tallahassee man missing (Mike Williams)

    I keep thinking about the December 19th sentencing hearing for BW. Denise spoke and pleaded with the judge for BW to receive a life sentence for the attempted kidnapping. However, BW, the prosecutors, his counsel, and the judge ALL KNEW that BW had struck a deal because he had been singing like...

    Which goal is more impressive?

    Scratching head at that. I disagree with everything you say. First, CR’s goal was “better” because of the wow factor and because of the stage. However, there was a fair amount of luck in his goal. There was much higher quality and skill in the Ramsey goal: the ball played in by Ozil was...

    New Nole in our House!

    Congrats! Look into “freshman year abroad”. That will qualify her for in state tuition after the first year, and she will get a year in London, Valencia, or Florence. (Or Panama City, Panama.) It’s a full calendar year.

    Subliminal message

    Typical response unless you want to know the location of all the Starbucks and the best restaurants around campus. Must work for some. The Florida Days experience is supposed to be better, with a serious intro to the school. We’ll see. And arrange a personal tour of FSU through the Academic...

    Subliminal message

    Maybe. But his visiting is with cause. Besides FSU (of course) and the southern campus of Santa Fe CC, his college choices are all in excess of $250k for an undergraduate degree. The state schools are better than free for him, so we decided it was reasonable to have a viable choice to FSU or at...

    Subliminal message

    Making my high school senior go to Florida Days tomorrow in Gainesville. If the decision were totally his, he would choose beauty school over Hogtown U, but the reality is that it is a good school and viable option for his undergraduate education. What clever ideas can I offer him to take some...

    I have failed as a father

    Not to split hairs but Yale will be $72k starting in the fall. Colorado University $59k. Texas @ Austin $52k. It’s crazy money to go private or out of state. FSU $23k, UofF $22k (in-state). Of course these are rack rates that few pay but still. Colorado OOS differential is $24k/yr. Nuts.
