Yes. And in addition to being overcrowded it will be way over-priced.

But other than that, great idea.

Also not local, but Camp Seagull is great.

The Dresden Files could be done well.

Did you see the small screen version (on SciFi)? If so, was it any good?

Yes. It was pretty well done, although there were far too few of them. Terrance Mann was an inspired choice as "Bob". The shows are available on Amazon Prime.

Wow. 6 pages and no one's blamed Landon or lacrosse culture, yet. What is DCUM coming to?

You should keep your mouth shut, but that doesn't mean you can't post it in this thread ---> http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/385557.page so the rest of us can enjoy the result.

OP, as a guy, that sounds like a fantastic surprise and I would love to come home to that.

Some have said that it sounds like you're going over the top. Only you can really judge how much giving you're doing in the relationship and how much your needs are being taken care of.

As long as you feel it's equitable and you're not feeling resentful that you give so much and he doesn't seem to give back in the ways that are important to you, then go for it and enjoy it.

Williams abolished fraternities in 1967 in anticipation of going coed in 1969.

I started playing hockey at 8 and they were standard equipment. I think even the 6 year olds wear them.

I don't think she is.

People in DC are so puritanical.

Some people entertain frequently.

And booze doesn't go bad, so it is easy to accumulate a lot.

For the hard liquors like rum, gin, vodka and whiskey there's no expiration date. Keep them in a cool place, however to avoid evaporation.

The supposed exception to this is tequila. From what I've read and my own experience, the agave taste/aroma in tequila is quite fragile and will lose its strength quickly once exposed to air. In three months, an opened bottle will generally lose 50% or more. After six months it becomes difficult to tell tequilas apart, even to distinguish between types. So it doesn't "go bad" but it does lose its best qualities. The effects of age are not as noticeable if used in cooking and margaritas or other mixed drinks, but are certainly noticeable when sipping it.

With brandy, cognac as well as some liqueurs you need to be a little bit more careful because they have components in them that can oxidize, so make sure that the bottles are corked tightly when not being used. Heat is obviously something you need to avoid of with liqueurs.

From what I've read, most fruit based liqueurs should be consumed within 6 months or so after opening (I think Chambord even has a warning included in the box).

Since they are basically just flavored wine, aperitifs like Vermouth should be refrigerated once opened and consumed fairly quickly.

I'd say no. We don't drink a lot, but I've accumulated a well-stocked bar over the years because I've gotten things for parties or specific events, and we don't drink them quickly. Friends also bring booze as a default gift.

If I walked in and saw a well-stocked bar it wouldn't occur to me that someone spends a lot of money on alcohol.
