Hello all...Im doing a year in Iraq and then moving from Italy to Dayton, Ohio. This mingle thing seems like a cool way to make some friends so here I am. Im a 40 yr old man that likes trying new things and seeing new places (a year in Iraq is plenty -- seen the whole country and have 4 months to go).

Drop me a note if interested (swimmer1968 on yahoo)

Wow, fast responses. Hmmm, send pizza eh? Might be tough to do. Tell you what, you get toBaghdad and I will take you to the Iraqi joint that serve up a mean spicy chicken pizza. I will even toss in a fruit smoothie :-)

No kidding, but after accepting it Dayton seems like a nice area. IM sure it will be fun. I can go to Columbus and watch the Buckeyes play even.

Very cool. Don't let the party poopers get you down. You should be happy wherever you are (I should take that advice). Biking isn't lame.. being lazy and out of shape is :)

I went to Indiana to watch the NCAA cross country championships a couple years ago. I think it was in Terra Haute and it was a fun trip. Had some beers and some laughs and generally a good time with the locals. Good people there!

No worries...I have to run anyway. One note..whatever you do today it will cost you a day of your life. So, even in fresno, make it worth it. Take care of yourself.

I am from Ohio, you may like Dayton, its a good base. Just remember the Highway Patrol will give you a ticket if your going 70 for 5 over. They have to catch you, my mother got a ticket for doing 1 over the speed limit.

Thats why I live in Massachuetts. Speed limit is a suggestion.
