Spent last week on a Caribbean cruise with the family. Started off my first morning back with a 4 mile run around the neighborhood. Not a fan of the swampy conditions, but thatβs what I get for living in Florida. Had a nice cool shower with Stirling Glacial Lemon bath soap to cool off followed by a nice cool noggin scrape with Glacial Citron and the Gillette Slim. Finished it all off with some Tangerine Creeper to keep things chilly.
Fuck Spez.
Caribbean cruse sounds lovely! I'm headed to a wedding in Colorado later this week, it will be nice to get away.
Where in Colorado are you going? I miss living out there. I hope I can afford to retire somewhere on the Front Range.
Iβm going to the Vail area. Colorado is utterly beautiful. Spent the first months of COVID there, it was a good place to hide out.
Oh hey I live in CO, if you want any food recs from a fellow wetshaving degenerate I'm happy to plug some spots
Thanks! I wish I had time to explore. This is going to be one of those get in for the wedding and get out type of situations. But if you know anything good in Denver we could pick up our last night there, Iβm all ears!
Any of the Sam's No. 3 locations in Denver are fantastic for typical brunch with a huge menu, NY Deli News on East Hampden Ave is a great Jewish deli/breakfast and lunch place, Lucille's is a great creole style place with a couple locations in the area (huge biscuits)
