PM me your email addresses and we can create a list.

If things are still open after the holidays we could perhaps find a place to have a safely-spaced coffee.  Too bad we missed the good weather - the outdoor Tavern on the Hill right across the street from the National gallery is awesome.

Hi Enodia,

Nice dog!

It looks like a black long haired Lab. Is it friendly?

All Labs are friendly.  Never saw a tail  like that though.

Repo is actually a Flat Coated Retriever, and he is psychotically friendly!
Whenever we're at the dog park and I don't see him nearby I just look for the nearest children and he'll be right there dropping his ball at their feet waiting for them to throw it.
I got him from the rescue center at 10 months old and he had already been adopted and returned twice, hence the name.
He just turned 8 on Thanksgiving, and I couldn't be more thankful for anything!

Hi all,
couldn't make my usual ice climbing trip due to the bloody organizational mess around because of our virus "friend" : grumpfff and grumpfff again.

So ... revenge when opportunity arises.

Deer hunting is my vice. Roman coins becoming a close second.  This one was killed Feb 9, last year.  Three days left in the AL season.

And a photo of why I don't own more coins... lol.



And so that it's more on topic with my Roman Imperial coin collecting hobby, a pic of me from a year and a half ago on a trip to Rome just inside the Porta del Popolo (which used to be called the Porta Flaminia) in the Aurelian Wall. I'm standing in the Piaza del Popolo with an Egyptian obelisk of Ramesses II from Heliopolis behind me.

I had a sailboat many years ago.  The costs for the year or so I owned it were more than $1000 for each time I took it out to sea. I lost a lot of enthusiasm for boat ownership.

Lol... you're not wrong.  It's a pay to play passtime, and you either absorb it, or you don't.

LOL.  Perfect. 

I spent almost 15 years working on missile frigates and attack submarines. I now sit at a desk and oversee people that do the real work, so a boat was a nice way to remind me of old times when I felt more useful :)

Mine is a 27' Four Winns cabin cruiser that doubles as a floating cottage.

Here is my hound, Hector, telling me to stop watching sports and to get off my ass and take him out for a walk!

... also, a shot of Hector helping me with the garden (man, he's a character)

Here's a few pics we took last summer to showcase my Brettian impression.  The Corinthian helmet would be considered quite old by this time period, but some grave finds in Southern Italy have them along with Apulo-Corinthian and attic helmets. I also have an Apulo-Corinthian and a bronze attic is on it's way.  Shield is based off of Brettian coins and Lucanian vase paintings. The greaves need to be modified as they're too bulbus.  The Corinthian I'm wearing is bronze and has custom boars engraved on the cheeks and a pelmette between the eyes.  The belt is based off of Southern Italian graves from Samnites to the Brettians but show up even earlier and is considered Italic.  I also have a Ksour Essef cuirass (4th to 2nd century BCE) that I'm working into an impression. 

  Terina is a stones throw away from my place in Italy and while the Lucanians and Samnites get the most press, the Brettians (who came from the Lucanians) were fierce warriors and supporters of Hannibal.  Unfortunately, the area of Calabria where the Brettians inhabited is very under developed and under studied.

And for good measure is my Ribchester parade/Cavalry/Signifer helmet and early Kalkriese type segmentata.

Why not? Here’s my Facebook profile showing me with my beautiful black cat. The other photo of the friendly little monkey was taken in St. Kitts when I was on a Caribbean cruise. The colourful Caribbean shirt I’m wearing in both photos was purchased in Barbados. I don’t mind at all it being mistaken for a Hawaiian shirt because I plan to visit both Hawaii and Tahiti someday. My parents were islanders perhaps descended from Portuguese settlers many centuries ago. My coin collection is just as eclectic as my ancestry.
