I've already shared with you the francesinha from my first day in Porto. Before. With proper gravy application. And the detritus afterwards. For the public record, the beer you see in the photos "Super Bock" is a goddamn keeper. That shit is delicious and always served cold and frosty. Hell a man could drink that

Boots on the Ground, Porto Portugal Part 2. Porto in Pictorial Form.

Boots on the Ground! Porto Portugal. Part 1; Getting There
It's no surprise to any of you regarding my ambition to become an expat and retire overseas. I have made ZERO effort to keep that a secret. Also as many of you know, given the incentives and the ease of acquiring a visa, Portugal was very high on my list of possible
Boots on the Ground Down Under, the Third and Final Installment
When we last left off in recapping my sporting adventures in Oz, I had followed up BOTGs for GWS vs Sydney and RSA vs NED with another Women's World Cup match and my first ever trip to the MCG. Which leaves (checks notes) another WWC match and one last AFL
Your “Boots on the Ground 2: Australian Boogaloo” Tuesday Night Open Thread
Rev is off tonight. I'm sure it's completely unrelated to last night's tilt featuring his wooly mammals and their LOLjob. That was worth any monkey paw tomfoolery, though. As you may have heard, A-A-Ron's achilles is indeed torn, meaning he is out for the whole season. I'll try and limit my

Your Boots on the Grounds! Thursday Night Open Thread
Happy Thursday! I'm tired, you're tired, it's hot out, let's skip the preamble and get on with it. I did NOT go to the All Star Game this week, mainly because I didn't care about it (or frankly remember that it was happening/happened until Weaselo's mention in last night's open thread).

DETOX, SUICIDE WATCH, AND "WELCOME TO CAT 5" Unfortunately, this is the portion of my journey I am the most unfamiliar with for a variety of reasons, so my recollections will be recounted to you as they exist in my head; in brief snatches experienced in varying degrees of lucidity. Thank
Boots on the Ground: The Crazy House!
I awakened curled in a ball on the floor at the foot of the bed in my kids’ playroom, shivering under an open window, blanketless. I felt around blindly for my eyeglasses, and found them relatively quickly on the rug, propped against the closet door. I put them on and
Boots on the Ground: A Peek Inside Complete Pandemonium (Published by Hippo as Saturday Night Thread)
Gameday at the Fozz Compound As most of you may know, I have three sons. They are the centerpiece of my life. I love each more than bourbon. I mean, really quality bourbon. Like any three people, they have personalities that can be described as easy going, fierce, and loving. Sundays during
How did I get barf in my backseat? A very special Boots on the Ground Experience
Anytime it’s been ill conceived enough that I somehow become the designated driver? Well most of those adventures have not ended proper and it saddens me to inform that this jaunt did not either. The game I love can only be produced one way, for television. I made a decision to venture
