I have fully unpacked one suitcase and done most of the laundry from the trip. Still pending is the suitcase mostly containing purchases - gifts for the family and the kittie sitters and stuff for me, which includes a huge stack of books - I bought a book about pretty much every site we went to (sort of my thing). Luckily they were all pretty ( Read more... )

Our second day in Greece was a daytrip out to Delphi - the center of the Greek world. According to myth, Zeus released two birds at opposite ends of the earth and Delphi is where they met. (Don't do the math.) It was a temple to Apollo and where the Delphian Oracle resided. Originally the oracle were young girls (even as young as five) but once ( Read more... )

We left here on a 4:30 flight on Saturday and landed about 10:30 in the morning in Athens. (Maybe I was tired or maybe it was the area they had us disembark but the airport reminded my of Nairobi.

A few of these have been sent out from what looks to be a corruption of my personal email address, often dropping the "d" though. If you get one, first I am so very very sorry. But our IT guy here at the office is working on it. If you get one please right click on the email, go to Message Option, and copy the information contained in Internet ( Read more... )

Friday - Had to work late (8:30) preparing prebills for my boss's review this morning (her only day in the office before I bolt from the country on Saturday). Couldn't do the prebills until everyone had finished worked for the day and had all their time entered into the billing system. That being said 8:30 is not that late. I then treated myself ( Read more... )
