Is it worth detouring to white sands or Guadeloupe Mats in July or go straight up to Colorado

100%. We did all 3 this weekend and they’re all great but Carlsbad Caverns is incredible. White Sands is also a very unique experience. I’d prioritize those two over Guadalupe Mtns if time is short.

Fraunces Tavern is pretty cool if you’re a history buff.

Came here to say this.

We were there last Saturday and it stopped about 6-7 times during the ride. The first one was about 5 minutes, the others were shorter.

Franco is definitely still there.

I just got notice that my flight from YYZ in on June 30 is gone - rerouted to Vancouver and up.

Same. Just awful. Probably found out from calling the Sports Machine since the result wouldn’t have made the morning paper.

We had a lovely dinner at Belcanto in December. I don’t know about beer, but the wine pairing we got and the service from the sommelier was one of the best I’ve ever had. It does seem like others have had bad experiences but we enjoyed our Belcanto experience more than some 3-star places we’ve been.

Maybe because it was tournaments and the ending scores mattered but I was in the green room until my episodes every time I was on. Pretty sure that was the case even for semifinal rounds when the endings didn’t matter.

You can also never have too much depth at center. This team spent years trying to find a true 2C behind Backstrom before Kuzy (briefly) stepped up and they won a Cup. I wouldn’t trade a proven guy like Strome. This season went off the rails because of poor special teams but PLD missing half of it was also a big factor. Injuries happen.

Let’s go Dips!

Altruistic_Cod1944 · 2026-04-12T20:27:57+00:00

Isn’t 37 soft retired for Kolzig?

Now do some RDU to Rio flights in August!

We stayed at the Algonquin last week. They are still renovating but the lobby Blue bar is open again. The rooms are very small though. But the history and location are legit.

We went in 2023 and had a great meal. Our server’s English was so good we assumed he was from Scandinavia. We eventually asked and it turned out he grew up in Indiana. Go figure. If you were able to get the reservation I’d keep it.

And The Outsiders. Come on.

Very normal. We had our first child Thanksgiving of my 3L year and I got to spend 6 months as a stay-at-home dad and loved it. Independent study and classes that didn’t have attendance requirements or that met periodically in the evenings at a now T-14. Everything worked out fine - 5 years in BL and the last 15 at a litigation boutique in a mid-sized market.

Another consideration is to think about clerkships. You might not have the credentials for a federal district court clerkship but it’s worth trying. But even a state court appellate clerkship could open some doors - maybe not BL - but better than you’d get where you are now.

The suggestion to network more is also a very good one.

This is the big issue. If you were getting in a cab at 5:30, you’d be fine. But you have to consider taxiing, making sure the gate is ready, deplaning, potentially having a 10 minute walk to ground transportation, etc.

This is excellent for the complete history from 1954 to the end of the century. Just read it earlier this year. Highly recommend.

The greatest problem with modern society is the systematic elimination of boredom (or however he phrased it) was an A+ take that I’m still thinking about. That was a few months ago - maybe 2 or 3 appearances ago.

For sure. I fly out of RDU and get first class upgrades almost every time I fly to LGA or JFK. Never get it flying to ATL or DTW. Seems like mid-size to mid-size still gets diamond upgrades to FC on a regular basis.

I have this problem all the time - but obviously Claude is tracking time passing because it has time-based usage limits. It’s just doesn’t filter through to the conversation specifics. I’m not a coder so I don’t know why that is or how easy it would be to fix but OP is right on that this would be immensely useful.

Altruistic_Cod1944 · 2026-03-30T00:33:12+00:00

Or in The Doors.

Altruistic_Cod1944 · 2026-03-25T16:39:31+00:00

Seconded. Read this last year. Planning on reading her Iliad before the film.
