I usually stay put. The property is huge - couple hundred acres and about a mile of beach, surrounded my mangrove jungle. There are probably 20 different bars scattered throughout, another 20 different places to eat. Maybe 8 different pools, a few adults only. There are way more Canadians and Europeans that visit there than Americans.

My goals are: eat/drink/read. I've had sporadic luck in romantic pursuits while I'm there, but I'm not going there to try & get laid.

Sounds awesome. I just get way too bored staying at the all-inclusive places. So we go to Playa Del Carmen, Tulum, climb pyramids, swim in cenotes, etc.

This is almost always how I ended up getting laid back when I wasn't tied down and broken.

chicken eatsa?

the FIL was mexican, and took all his kids to cozumel from the moment they were born. I've been down there a few times with the wife, but never made it to the pyramids (something like a 2-3 hour bus-ride?). tulum, yes- which is awesome- but not the big ones.

YOU HAVE A STAFF WEBPAGE, ALL I ASK IS YOU ####ERS ACTUALLY UPDATE IT

I hear you.  I do it every g damn day.  It takes less than 5 minutes.  Not only is it a CYA type of thing ("but Chace didn't know he had a test!) but it is the easiest way for parents to hold their kids accountable.  "You said you didn't have any homework tonight but it says here on Mr. Ortontoolsen's website that you have to finish...".  

Sadly I have a bunch of colleagues that don't routinely update their pages.  It sucks because parents just assume that it is a waste of time to check them.

I concur with this. With that said, basic professionalism would dictate at least acknowledging receipt of an email, even if it contained something ####### stupid.

you would think. I'd say 1 out of 5 people I work with/around do that. 

sooooo simple. 

"hi- got your email... I'll get back to you soon".

that provides total blow-off license afterwards.

oh please let it be pronounced chachi... 

but I'm impressed with daily updates. I'm happy with weekly- just be consistent.

We've never gone to Chichen Itza. Five hours on a tour bus driving through endless jungle? No ####### way.

But we have gone to Coba, which is only about 45 minutes from Tulum. The big pyramid there was pretty damn cool. And the ball courts where the Mayans used to play squash or whatever were cool too. I like to imagine they did it with severed human heads, but I think that was more of an Aztec thing.

Probably foolish of me, but since I send my son to a private school, I hold his educators to a higher standard. If that school is going to provide that service, then I expect it to be managed properly.  I'm on the phone with school admin if the teachers don't keep their #### up to date.

I would like to do Akumel one day, but I'm saving that for when I have a travelling companion. I'd also like to ferry across to Cozumel and rent a Jeep to tootle around in. Did Playa when the woman-I-turned-once-and-for-all-lesbian went there with me.

I'm going solo this time and I'm lazy as #### when by myself. I just want to shut down after the stress of this past year.

Not much in Akumal... we rented an apartment there one of our trips. Very cool little town for renting an apartment, but IIRC, not much there visiting-wise.

I thought it was 2-3 hours, which makes it borderline for me.

Never heard of Coba- will lobby for that one instead.

the cenotes are really cool- would love to explore those more. and Tulum is can't miss.

but most of the time, I'm like UH- beach, swimming pool, bar, food, done.

2-3 hours each way, unless you don't intend to come back.

 
I'd like to go to Mexico one day.  I mean, other than the border towns where you can take in a show or a transvestite penis.

There's a lot of places I'd like to go, actually.  Kids are neat.

I've been married twice (both had reproductive issues I knew about going in and both miscarried while we were together) and have no kids. I'm 54, so there ain't any little ones coming in the future. My only sibling is my brother who has never been married and doesn't have any kids (which is amazing in and of itself - my brother was a supreme #####-hound), either. My mother is never going to have grandchildren she can dote on. 

I've always been kind of a loner, GM. I love interacting with people, but it's better for me when it's on my own terms - definition of "selfish", huh? When I'm done and gone, all I will have left behind is whether I treated people the right way. 

You've got a gorgeous family and your kids will tell awesome stories about their dad. I know that's the truth because I know you.

One day, I hope I can wake you up again to say hello.  Have a great trip!

My old man was going to fly to Nashville today to attend the wedding of his nephew, my cousin, that I haven't seen since 1990.  He was pretty excited about it as this year has been really rough with my mom's health deteriorating and forcing him into a role of caregiver, which he wasn't really prepared for, as if that's something any of us are ready for.  But, because of SNOWMYGOD!!!!111 in Portland, all flights are cancelled and he's not going anywhere.  Pretty bummed for him.  

Do you people that live in snowy areas just not have air travel as an option?

apparently snow technology hasn't made it through the Oregon Trail yet.

Folks, please teach your children patience. I tried to pre-(pre-?)check-in on my flight for Saturday morning. I KNOW I can't do it more than 24 hours before take off, but I have tried twice today and been pissed both times it didn't take. If it were possible, I'd already be at the airport hoping the flight would be 36 hours early :bag:

I hope you're not flying into Galveston yet. Coshole is still seven weeks away

My aunt & uncle were lifers in Pgh education (uncle @ Pitt, aunt in elem ed) and were the kind of snobby, chatbound Hillaryheads that make me hate my side of the political spectrum. But they were as Christ's disciples concerning Fred Rogers, hosting huge ed-community parties just for the chance he'd stop by. These smug glibsters would go blank when his name came up and you could tell it was because they'd put themselves in his presence at the mention and there apparently was no better place on earth to be than within Mister Rogers's attention. "The world would just fall away, it was just you & him" was the gist of their response each time.

I always thought he was a #####. Even when I was a #####.

but he was a relentless #####, in the same way - pardon the audacity - i imagine Christ being a relentless #####. that your quiet, loving, gentleness is the total kickassery inside you. 

didnt grow up on him, was introduced once & not thunderstruck, am not a follower. but he's right. only it's veryveryvery hard to do the "i am here" part of life and be that way. but he's right. 

 
Kinda feel like I should now say: Thanks to my GB for the text earlier.  I received it and appreciated it, even if I did not response.
