If there was actually snow in the "mountains" I'd recommend skiing or snowboarding, although that's expensive. Blue Knob in PA is actually pretty good. <BR/><BR/>And, since this is a cool blog, I will recommend parts of VA to you. I wouldn't do this for the LNS crowd. Murphy's is great especially on fall Sundays if you are a fan of a certain sports franchise that just lost their star for the season. If not, it's still a great place. I like the pizza and vibe at Bugsy's too. Now that Dremo's is no more, I guess my place to go to in Arlington is Ireland's Four Courts near the Court House metro. I know it's a chain-type pub but I always have fun there.<BR/><BR/>I'd think about Wolf Trap shows but traffic keeps me from there.maryjanejeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215675089943869106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056861.post-84850241438180112062008-09-04T21:34:00.000+01:002008-09-04T21:34:00.000+01:00Michael - I wouldn't 100% rule out a smoker, but I...Michael - I wouldn't 100% rule out a smoker, but I would rule one out if he smoked indoors.<BR/><BR/>CH - I think it's a matter of dealbreakers vs. nitpicking. I have a few dealbreakers - drug use, condescending attitude, etc. But I generally give people the benefit of the doubt. I'd rather waste my time on a bad date than sit at home making arbitrary judgments about people.

But in general, I don't like this lists of rules in the profiles or ruling people out for superficial reasons. I used to have a rule about not eating at chain restaurants, then I fell in love with someone who loves Macaroni Grill and suddenly the company I was with was more important than where we ate. I try to keep that in mind, for example, when ruling out a date.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4056861.post-5651937730627311722008-09-04T18:12:00.000+01:002008-09-04T18:12:00.000+01:00Ha!As long as we're opining...Me?
