You ARE poster 600, adeben; you did it!
Laurel- I'm in Park City also watching this awful rain melt the beautiful snow. Hoping for some snow overnight so we can go skiing tomorrow. What weird weather!

At the dock at Punta Arenas, in southern Chile, waiting for the tender back to our cruise ship. Ushuaia, Argentina yesterday, Cape Horn before that. Valparaiso in a couple of days, then home via NYC.

Sitting at my desk, waiting for the workday to end (only 1.5 more hours). I have done absolutely no work today......it is soooo slow here right now. My building is located in Washington, DC (Chinatown) and I have no windows to look outside. Just down the street from me is the Verizon Center where the Wizards, Mystics and Capitals play. I've been on and off Fodor's today looking for info for my upcoming cruise from Los Angeles to Puerto V, Cabo and Mazatlan.

I am sitting at my desk in my one room living quarters in Mosul, Iraq. It's a fairly nice sized room for Iraq and I'm lucky enough to live without a roommate. I have posters covering up big chunks of missing wall, and I just recently removed all the sandbags from my window (keep your fingers crossed for me ;-) ).
It's almost 5:00 am and I should be sleeping but I'm trying to spend as much time with friends before I go on my 3 week Europe odyssey so I stayed up late and watched some movies with them. They left about an hour ago.
Around me I have pictures of far away friends and family and behind me is the single bed that I've slept in the last year. It is for this reason that I'm splurging and going with all at least queen sized beds for my upcoming vacation. That and a personal bathroom because there is no indoor plumbing here.
And now, it is time for sleep. Goodnight, fellow fodorites.

In Ottawa, Canada -- having just returned from a quick trip on foot to buy dinner supplies.
The cold was quite biting, though the walk was under 10 minutes. Man, how I loathe the cold. Our month in Savannah GA (Jan. 1-31) seems a distant memory.
And those Pollyannas who rhapsodize about snowfalls! Try 4-5 months of it!
This evg, while my spouse prepares a Valentine's Day dinner, I'm researching places to stay for a week in or near Pisa/ Lucca in Tuscany.
We leave on March 11: One week Rome, three days Florence, a week in N Tuscany and then a final weekend near Bergamo with my old buddy Roberto -- a reunion after 30 years.
The prospect of an early Roman spring keeps me going through this cold, dirt and inconvenience. This is our 5th March in a row for Rome and I cannot imagine anywhere nicer.

Me again!
Now I am sitting at home (Temple Hills, MD) in our office with my youngest cat (Porter) sleeping by my chair in the sun. My wife is out in the living room doing a little light cleaning. I was online posting pictures to Webshots and listing ads on Craigslist. I was also submitting a question to Mr. Beer because my wife and I just tasted my homebrew and it has a tangy/cider taste to it. Yuck, my Mr. Beer never turns out right. It is sunny today, but still in the mid 40's. I'm off work tomorrow, yippeeeeeee........!!!

In the lounge of our house in Richmond Nelson New Zealand eating lunch before I go back to work. It is cold and raining outside. There are three cats in the room, Jazz is sleeping on the couch, Japetto has just had some biscats for a snack and Jamimah is looking for food too. My Mum is making herself a sandwich and my DH is downstairs practising on the electronic organ for a club night tonight.

How about this for an old one - 9 years ago!! Although there were some postings from August this year.
I am in my home office looking at the gorgeous weather, but cannot go biking right now because my daughter has stomach pains and may need to go to DR.
