Freelance, etc.

Spent the week working my butt off trying to finish up all my freelance projects. Nearly done (I hope) and once I’m done with that nonsense I can finish all the yard work I need to get done before our trip to the UK. If at all possible I will have a few days to sleep in, and spend the day on the sofa watching Perry Mason. 🙂

I’ve received a two phone calls from my brother and his wife since they’ve been in Europe. They’re doing pretty well though they already seemed a bit frazzled (after only a week and a half). Apparently Athens is a bit of an odd spot, quasi "third-world" in some ways, but nice. They spent a few nights on the island of Mykonos, and the weather wasn’t great. By now I think they’re either in Pompeii or Rome. While the southern part of Europe has never held too much sway with me, I do envy all the history they’re seeing. I would really like to see the Acropolis and Parthanon in Greece, and the Colosseum in Rome, and I curse both my brother and sister-in-law while I sit at my computer slaving away on freelance projects. *shakes fist*

Anyway, that’s it for now. More nonsense to come I’m sure. 🙂
