Sounds like you guys have as much fun after hours as you do during the show. Wish I could tag along.

Not really, we just talk a good game. We're too old to have TOO much fun

I've seen the Subway there about every time that I go. Just the outside of the place doesn't make it look all that appetizing. Subway's we've got all over the place up here so I can have them anytime. I only get to Toledo once a year so I make the most of it. Usually a years supply of pickles and peppers from Tony's makes the trip home with me and sometimes a 3 day supply of Packo dogs.

Being a native New Yorker, I know what a REAL hero sandwich is, so I wouldn't eat Subway on a bet

It looks like it might be warming up a little by next weekend.
Yeah, we got some snow here last night also. Although it came down pretty good, it didn't stick as I only had maybe a 1/2" on my windshield. Two to five inches was predicted. At least it wasn't like Good Friday when it really got nasty up here!
I'm kind of used to the weather in Toledo. In all of the years that I've been there only seen it sunny once but it was still cold.

I thought that is was kind of funny last year. The show was held late in April last year and the weather was still crappy. In fact, on Sunday of the show they were holding a marathon in downtown Toledo and it was SNOWING!!!! Oh yeah, that's what I want to do. Run 26 miles in the cold and snow!!!!!!

weather.com is showing in their 10 day forecast a high of 50 next Saturday in the Glass City.
I'm not trusting forecasters lately either as just a couple of hours before the snow hit yesterday we got the alert.

Ron,
Sounds like you have the same forecasters there that we have down here in Oklahoma. We have a saying about our local TV station here..... "If it's news, it's news to us!!!!!"
