I was born and raised in Baltimore, MD and still live there. Also a loyal Orioles and Ravens fan, especially Orioles. Yes, from Balmer Mar-lan where we warsh our dishes in the zinc with wauter and we eat steamed crabs:

I am from Chatham Ontario Canada. That is just an hour from Detroit along highway 401. Also about an hour an half from London Ontario. I have also gone to school in Windsor Ontario and London Ontario and lived at Canadian Forces base Petawawa for a few years.

My mother's parents were both Scottish...my Granny was from Creetown and my grandfather, who I unfortunately never knew, was from Dumfries. My late Mom and I traveled to both places a few years ago.

I want to meet your son! I am a Packers fan and have been since the mid 80s when american football was not that popular here, I used to listen to the American Forces coverage on Sundays.

Last year it was either going to Green Bay to see the Packers for my 50th or sunny Mouseland, the sun won!

I would have opted for the mouse and sun too!! The boy has been in Green Bay about 16 months now, and works in the sports department for the Green Bay Press Gazette. He will be busy the next three days with the Packers draft.

We can pick a brew place somewhere between Milwaukee and Madison and have a Wisconsin meet up! Plenty of places to choose. The couple going with us knows them all and has block season tickets for the Brewers.

Although I spent most of my school years in Punxsutawney, I graduated from Latrobe. I used to work at the Ames store behind Westmoreland Mall.

I was raised in Streamwood, and moved to Rockford right before high school. I have lived in Rockford since.

Ok folks
Though i would chime in today (9th May) as it is a special celebration day on my little rock ... It is our liberation day from the German forces that occupied the channel islands during the second world war.
I live on the Island of Guernsey in the English channel.
