October 22, 2007 | Filed under: It's Called "Having a Life." You Should Try It.
This is my last post before leaving for Europe. I started an entirely different post last week, but, really, this is about all I have to say right now:
Click through for scintillating commentary.
In a cruel twist of fate, it was 80 degrees and sunny out today and when I land in Prague on Wednesday, I can expect non-stop 52-degree days with fog, drizzle and/or light rain. Fantastic.On the bright side, work today sucked (seriously, how can a one-day work week be this bad???), so I am definitely ready for a vacation.
My sister assured me that, “I will NOT, I repeat, I will under NO CIRCUMSTANCES go on Nancy Grace. Ever. For anything. No matter how many exclamation points she promises to put at the end of my shocking headline.”
That taken care of, I left the final instructions with my family: If you need a picture of me to plaster on the news, please use the one from my Facebook profile. Steve can probably figure out how to download it. Whatever you do, do not be tempted to use my senior picture from the living room wall.
Now I can leave for Europe confident that if a gang of roaming gypsies or Islamofascists (huh? Mr. Huckabee, care to explain?) takes me hostage, at least I’ll look good on TV. And that is the important thing.
Words, pictures and general assurances that I’m still alive … if I manage to find an internet cafe among all those castles, churches and bier gartens I’ll be hanging out in.
* The only Czech phrase I know. What? It’s German? Welllll shiiit.

You know DAMNED well your parents WILL surely use the senior picture hanging in the hallway! I can’t pay my parents to rid them of that thing in our house. Maybe you should watch a few episodes of the “Alias” TV show before you leave, there some great getaway moves in there. Oh wait, there isn’t time. OK, I guess you’ll just need to be safe and tell us all about it when you are back, wearing blue sweats in 90 degree heat.
Wenn Sie zurückkommen (When you return).
