You look very Canadian or from a northern latitude of the US...the obligatory black leather coat. You'd almost never see that in LA, Houston or Miami. I take it you took United or USAir part of the way and then connected onto AirCanada? How was Vegas?

I have a friend from Birmingham AL who told me there was a Little Italy there and that there was a sizable Guido contingent at his Catholic HS there. Also, there are small Greek communities in certain Southern cities. I once saw a beautiful Greek Orthodox church on the Florida panhandle (the Redneck Riviera). You probably know that Tarpon Springs, north of Tampa, has many Greeks. So, yes, it can be found.

Hey, so are there are good "gotta go to" food establishments in RDU and CLT that locals faithfully go to? Camino has already mentioned Hugo's Diner in CLT. Any others recommended? Favorite food types: American, Italian and Greek.

A picture is worth a thousand words -- Look, there's a G8 out ahead of the Allure -- now that looks nicer and cleaner.

Can't hear you, sonny. Can't see you either, sonny. Come again?

I am very sorry to hear this, Dodgefan. You've written very caring words about her. That speaks to your love for her and I am sure she knew and was inspired by that. I remember getting the call that my Dad had passed away. I was living in Seattle at the time and had to drive down to Portland for the funeral. It was surreal...that whole 175 mile drive. I know what that feels like. My condolences.

moltie. That's great. A lady at work said he looked like one of those zombie people / living dead that you see in the movies. However, your description seems to be more accurate.

He's odd all the way around...including that coiff. I've heard the assertions that he is mentally ill and they are believable. How does a Narcissistic Personality Disorder differ from a Borderline Personality Disorder?
