The official I cant sleep thread

[The Bacon Junkie]

Well it was a little crowded here last night but you were well behaved.  So sure, you can join.

oh gee, thanks! 

[RAT900]

speaking of which....where is she?....probably sound asleep tonight <laughing>

[The Bacon Junkie]

 


fortunately for me, I'm heading into the abyss...

Hope you can catch some shut-eye, RAT...

[RAT900]

nah I just woke up...and I am finally getting around to packing and looking for my passport....off to Italy tonight

connector in Paris so I am packing a carry-on only....looks like it is ready to burst....

still better than having luggage sent on to Algeria or Kabul or somewhere

while I am on my way in the opposite direction

[AJ]

Only carry-on FTW.

Where ya going in Italy?

I take it you've been getting yourself on Euro time for a couple of days pre-trip?  I do that every time I cross an ocean, makes a world of difference once I've arrived.   Of course that means  I'm a total nightmare to be around right before a trip

[RAT900]

Bouncing around...Florence and Montecatini up north

then down to Amalfi...then to Pompeii

As for time-zone prep...what time-zone? 

I am assigned projects to work in all different time zones so I adjust accordingly

my natural home-clock hasn't worked for years even though I am sitting in NY

[Stella]

"smelly sockclusters" ?   That's what you give me on the 2 word thread, Rat?!


Sorry I'm late.

[RAT900]

LOL...sorry was still ramping up and merging onto the caffeine highway

now packed, passport secured...wrapping up work notifications

and really awake...

[TiNi]

have a great time 

[RAT900]

oh I hope so....

if I have decent web access I may travel-blog it here with the "World as seen thru the eyes of Rat perspective" 

I savaged Aruba a few years ago....called it My Stay on Survivor Island No Need to go to Iraq....

or something like that...3 part ode to a forgettable island

I think it hits on a google search if you're bored

So....you're a spy?

[RAT900]

Not a spy...

just a keen observer of the human species with an eye that needs to study and document the aberrant and the abhorrent  

If I can get on line I will blog if there is any worthy material...

Any city like Montecatini...(first stop)

which the Medici's ransacked in the 1500's and found that only the windows and doors to be worth stealing and taking back to Florence

...well.....that has to be a magical place of nothingness....the proverbial empty chamberpot at the end of the rainbow of epic disappointments

Imagine the return of the Medici Army to Florence....carrying window sashes and doors....how heraldic and triumphant they must have NOT felt

yes I feel there may be great material here



I am fascinated

[AJ]

yes I feel there may be great material here

Definitely!  Do it!

[ducpainter]

PLEEEEEEEASE do this!!



So....you're a spy?

Slowpoke was the spy.

He still denies it too.

Just like Rat.
