Meeting EU friends in Lisbon.... Surprised how EU folks seem to like the place. Moreso the South, actually. Really not as exciting as other parts of the EU. Exciting isn't always a to...	659	5	0	Nov 2017	Nov 2017	Apr 14

OH, Demon, Alcohol. From time to time here, where almost all posts are largely in good taste, if pointed, one does see the rare quite inappropriate blog. Profanity, too d...	723	4	0	Nov 2017	Nov 2017	Apr 4
