... to, was meeting Brad. He's a 15-year old Springsteen fan and we met through BTX and tennis (long stoty, never mind). He lives in Detroit and so made it to the pre party and show. Great to finally meet him. Conor you're next, okay? ;)<br><br>The show was amazing. But Bruce does need to polish up his geographical skills. He kept referring to Ohio while he was in Michigan. Ah well, he had a classy way around it: "It took me forty years to **** that up". Ha!<br ...

I am still at home. Only one more week. Being away from my home for three weeks requires a lot of preparation. I even know the movie that are going to have on the Flight. I am tired already!! Since I will be on a plane for almost 24 hours, I am collecting all the necessary stuff needed to be comfortable. <br>

... folks... which always makes for an even more fun time! There were signs all over the place warning about the amount of blood and how it was very likely you would get sprayed. Much like the splash zones in SeaWorld. They sold ponchos at the door, or you could provide your own covering. Anne, of course, had already seen the show, and knew where to sit us so we wouldn't get sprayed. The lady in front of me was hilarious, she cut a hole in a regular Kroger plastic bag ...

So its the 23rd and I'm going to Mikes Halloween party. I've been going to them for as long as he's been throwing them.<br>I wanted to dress up as The Dude, played by Jeff Bridges in the movie The Big Lebowski.

Phew... Going through US Customs was a bit trying... No searching but a lot of questions meant - I supposed - to catch us with something bad... Who knows. We did not loose any meal. We're in the middle of a fairground, with a weak WiFi but OK. The only analog TV channels are from Detroit but the Detroit area offers 22 digital channels, many <br><br>Longer day than expected but we grinded the flying condo to a halt. No problem other than a sticking lock on the propane door.

After saying our goodbyes to everyone at Cedarlane RV Park this morning, we're on the road to Michigan, in the home! Gray skies and cool winds can't dampen our spirits - we are SO looking forward to this next week's travels - when we leave Michigan, we'll head south on I-75 towards Florida, with a two ...

He had transferred his own home he grew up in and had people search the country to find all the articles including glassware and crockery, beds and furniture, to ensure it was exactly as he recalled it being. This is truly a remarkable place and a definite thumbs up from the travellers, to learn and experience this wonderful place, set out in a way to learn ...

As you know I am ready to fly off to Vicenza to embark upon my new job as a MFLC - affectionately known as an M-FLECK. I will be acting as a consultant to an international EAP firm working with military families. This assignment is with Child/Youth Services I am learning what it means to operate in the "chain of command" and the other consultants have been laughing at my "Type A" mentality. They all nod their heads, smile and say knowingly that I will have to learn to sit ...

... his poetry with a procession of regional bands dubbed the Blues Scholars (disclosure: this writer has performed in the Saugatuck version of the Blues Scholars since 2001). He has called Amsterdam his primary home since 2003, although the move didn't go smoothly at first. "I came over here in 2003 thinking that if I had to starve in the United States, I could starve here," he says. "And I proved that for about three years. "My original intention was to come ...
