I would love that whenever you have some spare time.

Are you going to move there? Or a second home? If you need any recs on trusted people there, let us know. We have a ton of connections there now.


Eventually, we plan to spend about 3-5 months there per year. My wife (no pics) has EU citizenship, so we aren’t limited to the 90 days within 180-day period. But we’ll rent it out during the summer months.

We would love to be connected with any trusted people you’ve met over there. Also, my wife is an FSU grad and I went there for grad school. So perhaps we already have a few mutual acquaintances.
First - that’s such a beautiful place you have there. Wow. Congrats.

Yes, we’re looking for something in the old, historic section. Something similars to yours, actually.

We can take this somewhere else if need be, but in my research I understand I need a real estate attorney (avvocato), a due diligence specialist (geometra), a notary (notaio), real estate agent, and an Italian accountant/tax advisor. Did you get get a full team of those various roles or did you handle it in a different way?

We’ll be heading over there soon to view properties. I’ve been hounding immobiliaire.it religiously.

Wow! We are buying a place in Monopoli soon. Would you mind if I asked you a few questions?

Nobody I know has ever heard of Monopoli, one of the reasons we’ve settled on it (besides it being incredibly beautiful and not directly on the tourist path). I’d love to hear your experience if you don’t mind sharing.

i can probably believe this. This is 2023 - 2026. I don't remember LSU really getting hosed by the refs late in games during the past few years. We've done a good job getting our arse beat by ourselves, thank you very much!
Champ Bailey ruined my birthday in Tiger Stadium in 1998.
Can’t argue with UF jumping us

A ton of people complained.

And there is a Native American museum. It’s decent. It has an amazing restaurant, actually. I recommend it if you’re ever visiting.

As someone who lives here, I do hate what’s been going on with the Kennedy Center. It just doesn’t make sense. My wife and I have been attending shows there for years. Why it was chosen as a political pawn is beyond me.

The rest of it… ugh. It’s all just noise.

re: LSU 3rd quarter

We started mixing up our looks more in the second half… showing something like two high pre-snap and then morphing into quarters or man post-snap.

When we ran man in the first half, Ole Miss was killing us with picks… I mean “rub” routes (lol, yes, everyone does them), so we were getting beat when showing and sticking with man defense.

So the combo of showing one thing pre-snap and doing something else post-snap while blitzing from various angles allowed us to throw Chambliss off a bit.

Chambliss is a good QB, though. You’re not going to shut him down forever. Ole Miss made some adjustments, and they battled. Ole Miss scored. LSU got the ball back and our QB couldn’t hit our open guys in the end zone. Game over.

Great game overall. Trinidad is the man

Tough game today. Curious if Arteta will go with Bruno over MLS in midfield.

Brighton away is a difficult fixture. They score a lot, move the ball, and can be dangerous. At the same time, this is the type of game we might see Odegaard dominate in beautiful fashion.

They should move this game to Halloween weekend
I usually always pull for Missouri! Why wouldn’t we?
I live in DC and take this route all the time. Acela is faster than NE Regional, but they're both great. just purchase your ticket based upon your preferred time.

Taking the train is so much better than flying into New York. You arrive in the heart of the city rather than 30-40 minutes outside of it. I'll never fly to NY again
I'll watch it. I remember partying with a bunch of Mizzou fans after the LSU-Mizzou game in Columbia a few years ago. The band in the bar played Mr. Brightside, and I joined in with everyone chanting, "frick KU!"

I'll be pulling for Missouri. I may even play Mr. Brightside
Both of those are great.

Maydan is special. It just lost its Michelin star, but it's a fun, unique spot with tremendous food. The owner is hot as shite as well.

1789 is an old school fine dining spot in Georgetown. Makes you feel like you're brought back a few decades. Food is excellent.

The food scene in DC is incredible right now. I went to Albi the oher night - a Palestinian restaurant in Navy Yard that has a Michelin star. The NYT gave it four stars in a recent review, and it's the first time the NYT has given out anything more than three stars to a restaurant outside New York in decades. I will say, I really enjoyed it... however, I'm curious if politics may have been involved in such an outlier ranking by the NYT.

Moon Rabbit is a newish restaurant as well, located on the Wharf. The chef is Vietnamese but from Louisiana, and the cuisine blends the flavors of Vietnam and south Louisiana. Moon Rabbit was just ranked the No. 24 restaurant in North America in a recent publication.

The list of incredible restaurants here continues to grow. I'm doing my damnest to sample them all.

Let’s go back further to when we were in debt from the stadium and couldn’t pay our top players wages and they all left for United, City (who were funding wages with nonrev $$), and Barca.

I’m so glad those days are over

what made everyone in here become Arsenal fans?


I moved to London for grad school in 2007. I lived near Russell Square, where central London begins its merge into north London. I didn’t have a club I supported. I had barely even heard of most of the clubs.

All the people I met in the area were Arsenal fans and encouraged me to watch with them.

19 years later - I make it back to the Emirates every other year. I’ve loved this journey
