Great timing.

Where were you when I was all alone here protecting the Thread from defacement? There's never a cop around when you need one.

Kanishka I (78-144), reigns over the Tocharian Empire of Kusana (Afghanistan and Northern India). He is a renowned conqueror and wise administrator.

Pacorus II is king of Parthia (78-115)

Lucius Cornelius Sulla, Roman dictator dies.



A rather grizzly death, iirc. Whatever desease he died from, it caused him to break out in sores and rashes all over his body as well as a contstant itch. He spent the last year of his life in some resort town at his villa soaking in mineral baths to make the pain and itching subside.

Far from the worst leader Rome had had, though. Started off as quite the reformer and proponent of popular rights....but as with many Roman leaders, slipped into despotism with age and died quite unpopular. His biggest support base came from his old legionaires, who adored him and on whom he lavished both money and land.

Wanna correct you, there, Bob. Agricola was actually the "other cola". The First Cola was this guy....

Gettysburg is great
Valley Forge is OK
Boston is only a few hours away and has lots of history (Just leave your Yankees gear home) You could combin this with the Nautalus museam in Groton, CT. We went there last wekend and had a good time.
Philadelphia is fun as is DC
Baltimore has history and supposedly a great singles scene.

Stop by a travel agent or AAA office for brocures and ideas

Fort Ticonderoga

Corning Glass Museum (not history I know, but I am told it's great...)

Mystic Seaport, Mystic Conneticutt. This would be a day trip for you I think. I have been there. The place is great.

You could take the train to Washington DC. The Smithsonian is great......

You could just move on to the enevitable like i have and given up on true love and moved on to meaningless random relationships. There realy is a great upside. I have always wanted to go down and see all the civil war battlefields in virginia. But thats just me.

Been to them all...after a certain point it does get to be a bit of "more of the same"

Still there are several worth seeing.
