opportunity

i'm going to europe on sunday. "why?", you ask? my friend roy is there right now, traveling around, meeting reps for work. no one should have to spend thanksgiving alone, so i'm going to give him company. "but robby, europe is so far away!" yeah i know, but when a friend is in need, no distance is too far. "wow, you are such a great guy!" not really, i think it's what anyone with a good heart would do.

(actually, the real reason i'm going is to make sure he's not living in sin, but shhhhh, keep that on the D-L)

ok ok, so i'm neither that nice, nor that righteous. i'm really going cause i can't think of a good reason not to. roy is there, so i'll have a buddy, i've never seen the places we're going, and i'm between jobs. sounds like opportunity to me. here's our tentative itinerary....
