Sometimes you wake up to an alarm, sometimes you wake up because people are loud outside your window.

Sometimes you wake up because a 50lbs rock rolls through your window.

The American coaches who lived there were happy no one was hurt, they had a good story, and the hotel bought them both a massage.

Enjoy.

I was getting frustrated, yet everytime I looked at Ben I had and urge to browse the 2011 Ralph Lauren catalogue.

In flight pizza. Amazing stuff. To bad it was not a digiorno. Imagine the ads:

Slow Witted Husband: walking back from lavatory: “Honey, you got delivery? we’re 30,000 feet above the Atlantic?”

Honey: sitting calmly in seat: “it’s not delivery, it’s digiorno”

Slow Witted Husband: very confused “ Looks like delivery”………….

and on it would go.

Hey there Valle Nevado, looking good.

Faulty wiring on our power bar makes the Electronics 10/11 class I took some what helpful. Although at the time of posting it was still broken.
