European adventure tentative plans:
So my leave to Europe is a go ahead. I'll be there early June. I'll land in Paris and spend a couple of days there, do the Paris thing (ie Catacombs, Arch de bla bla bla, Eifel Tower) and then make my way over to Luxembourg. Then I'll hop across the German border to Trier, the location of much of the Roman Empire's last remaining architecture ( Read more... ) -

I'm out of the office for a while now. I'll be out and about, thank the maker.

Mobbed
Yeah! We made it! The Iraq War is officially 6 years old! You're getting so old, yes you are! Aww.... =D
So I had an amazingly craptacular day. Any day that begins by waking up at 5am after next-to-no sleep is off to a rough start. I could have spent the day being handed bags of money, and I'd still feel grumpy at this point.
