I welcome and appreciate the critique and opinions of all men and women who frequent this board, who share a similar lifestyle.
By the way, I am going to Italy in January to study abroad for a semester (eek!!) I'd very much like to accomplish a few of my goals by then. I requested to be housed near a workout facility, and told the housing board that I am health-conscious in terms of food. LOL. YAY FLORENCE!!!!
BTW- I speak absolutely NO Italian.
