Now I see the word seeping into our daily lives: "You didn't like my supper tonight, darling? You better recalculate that comment before bedtime if you expect to get lucky."<br /><br />It sounds like you're having a blast in Europe.

And yes, various alcoholic beverages were involved. As was a good alpine climb.<br /><br />Lots of chuckles, too--the irony of those Deutschlanders and their scurrying up the mountain and scrambling back down for a smoke and a dunkel. No Austrian mt top is without its benches and ashcans for the ciggy breaks.Suzy Vitellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12836144962952322322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30074355.post-44815047715646202302012-06-29T14:03:00.954-07:002012-06-29T14:03:00.954-07:00You are brave brave married people, Suzy. This is...You are brave brave married people, Suzy. This is a lot to ask, especially with that bitch Wicked Wanda trying to weasel her way between you. You never know who (whom) you need to keep an eye on. <br /><br />I'm guessing some good strong beer or a bottle of wine (each!!!) might get you and Kirk back on the road, so to speak, to recovery.Terihttp://tericarter.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30074355.post-3991346648341814672012-06-29T12:42:18.124-07:002012-06-29T12:42:18.124-07:00Oh Josephine, you are a jewel.

Too bad you weren't here this morning when we toured the Kaiser Villa with the German frauline tour guide--you could have translated the funny jokes.<br /><br />We're about to head up the gondola for a view of the Salzkammergut.

Yours is complicated by a GPS wicked Wanda who is taking the many pre digital years revenge out on you. Reminds me of the time your 18 y/o father was conscripted to ferry your grandmother around what was then called western Europe in a Renault Dauphine. No GPS, no navigator.<br />At one point, I parked the car and walked down the road since it was inappropriate under German law to litter the roadside with bitchy old women back seat drivers. It could be worse. You could be driving in southern France on a motorcycle with side car in leather jackets wearing a Hakenkreuz. Now that would be fun!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
