(I realize this is terribly late, but I promised myself I would post this before I wrote about my recent trip.) As one of DFO's regular vagabonds, I write about some of my personal adventures. I like to think that it helps people think about planning their own vacations around what

It's been a fairly hectic time on the old internets this week. My Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, made the news by avoiding Halloween costumes this year, because - well, you know... He just ran out of ideas. The Not-Montreal-Expos won the World Series, touching off a strenuous yet polite online debate in

Hi everyone, (checks nfl.com to see if Dan Quinn has been fired yet.) It’s your old pal Beerguyrob, with a mid-season looksee into the progress the Atlanta Falcons are making this year. Woof! Well, there’s been some bumps along the way, and after failing to complete their comeback against the Seahawks the Falcons entered

Good evening Commentists & Commentettes, It's your old pal Beerguy with another easy listening Saturday night for your enjoyment. Tonight, in honour of Peter Cetera turning 75, we're going to be working our way through the early Chicago catalogue. Formed in 1967 as "The Chicago Transit Authority", the original lineup was made up

First off, I wanna thank Balls for covering Saturday night so I could enjoy the day with WineWife. Now, on to the more important point: this is the last Sunday for me until the end of the season. We are entering the most glorious part of the year at [DFO] for me -

I think the NFL might have broken me. There is absolutely nothing of interest to note. Why, one of the biggest headlines of the day is: Chiefs fan fined $500 for shining laser at Tom Brady and that's saying something, given that full camps open in a week. (FYI - the fan in question,

February 26, 1919 - The Grand Canyon Becomes A National Park First afforded Federal protection in 1893 as a Forest Reserve and later as a National Monument in 1908, Grand Canyon did not achieve National Park status until 1919, three years after the creation of the National Park Service in 1916,

"OH BOY THE GRAMMYS!" said no one, ever. The disappointment of the Grammys brings to my mind the summer of 2017. Now, WineWife LOVES Adele. Has all the albums; bought the CDs first day. I'm not a total idiot, so when they announce Adele is going to be performing at Wembley Stadium for

I went away on vacation this Christmas, and abandoned the site for a couple of weeks. In exchange for that kindness, I promised I would write up a post about said experience. I've been saving it for a day bereft of content. Save for Low Commander's excellent post on his

The positive reaction to my World War One Centenary posts has encouraged me to expound upon other topics. But rather than tie all of them in with the Open Threads - because the length of some made scrolling a chore for others - I will make them their own stand-alone
