Debut

It doesn't really feel real. The reality of the weirdness of having the same word used several times in one short sentence is quite a bit more real than the reality of the fact that at 9:50 AM Mountain Standard Time tomorrow morning (Friday, September 25th) I will be on a Boeing 757 on my way to New York JFK airport, at which point I will switch to a Boeing 767 headed for Heathrow airport in London.

Dude.


As a more practical explanation of why this blog was created... A couple of years ago, my dear roommate (may she [livemarried] in peace) and I decided we wanted to go spend a year living in Europe. Although she ended up meeting the man of her dreams and I ended up getting caught up in work and school and broken limbs, the idea never really faded. But, a year (sans school and occupation) turned into a couple months (one semester off school, possibly leave of absence from work) which then turned into 2 weeks of PTO used instead. A list of 12 major European cities was cut down to just 3, and I am so freaking excited! :-D

And because I'm a walking cliche, I'll probably be blogging plenty while I'm out there in the Great Beyond-the-Atlantic, taking loads of pictures, shooting and writing whatever the heck I dang well please. Deal.


Dude!!
