👋🏻 I’ve been lurking here as a refugee from the hellscape The Other Place has become but I think it’s high time to be present in what I hope is now The Good Place.

I’m Gary. I like running, traveling, eating & drinking, sportsballing, and cracking terrible jokes.

Let’s have some fun here, ok?

The product on the field in the second half of the season was atrocious - thankfully, the product going into my stomach was on point.

Woke up at 7 am and snagged a 5 pm resy on… Resy for Lei - seeing folks added to the wait list for the evening throughout my time there, I totally lucked out on this one.

Took a day trip on a bunch of trains to see the Douro - riding the rails for six hours on a hot day in cars without air conditioning made for a long day, but the views made it worth the suffering. #threedaysinporto #summereuroholiday25 #latergram

A wonderful Monday afternoon walking the Ponte de Dom Luís I from Porto to Villa Nova de Gaia and back. It’s crazy how people just walk along the tram rails until the tram appears and then they all scurry. #threedaysinporto #summereuroholiday25 #latergram
