Yes, don't remind me! Even worse is that the administration is actually
promoting a weak dollar. Grrr..... Traveling abroad nowadays is a lot more expensive than it used to be. That's where the good ol' per diem comes in!

Yes, don't remind me! Grrr .... There are good reasons why I'd like to move overseas for a while. It isn't that I don't like this country (I do love it), I've just been a little frustrated with the people running the show these past 5.5 years or so ...

Actually, that's just my friend. I don't know what itinerary he purchased. I'll be arriving from France (LAX-NTE-CDG-YYZ-LAX). Which reminds me: are the Canadian customs people going to give me as hard a time about transporting wine back home through Canada as I've heard?

The timing is actually a very fortunate coincidence. I'm sure we'll catch some shows. But, what I
really want to do is visit Unibroue!!!
