I like it when the guys give him water and the girl jogger dances by.

I don't like the ending, though. :no:

Ahhh, you know if a man dances like that in public, he'd get his stuff back :D

But we digress.

Another thought:

What about a Travel page? While the budget doesn't exactly extend to a weekend in the Bahamas or similar (yet), we live in interesting areas, where there are touristy things and interesting shops , restaurants,a rt galleries, etc.

Example: I live on the NSW Central Coast, halfway between Newcastle (state's 2nd biggest city, with its own distinct charm), and Sydney (country's biggest city, sort of like the Aussie equivalent of New York (though a lot of Sydneysiders would hate the comparison)). Lots of things happen ion these places. And the Coast itself, a holiday destination with a few interesting cultural/foodie type things.

We also travel a bit, I daresay, so there's the potential for other out-of-the-way places that are found on our journeys might make for interesting reading. Hopefully, we could start off with the arewas we're familiar with, then some contributors could add something about where they live, and then finally we get approached to sell our so-- I mean, paid to write about such places, a free weekend at some resort etc.

Ah well, a guy can dream. :)

I think a Travel category makes a lot of sense. However, I'm keeping the Pages down to a minimum; for instance, Travel would go under the heading General Nonfiction (as well as Science and Philosophy, for instance).

Remember that if you click on a category link, it will bring up a whole page of posts on that particular category automatically, without creating a new tab. That's good stuff: that means you can create organized pages while still trending towards simplicity ;)

That's fine, it makes sense. I just wanted to float the idea of Travel, it doesn't need a separate tab.

I suppose too that will include local restaurants. Which means I may have to go out and do some dining.

It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it. :)
