The blog has been commandeered by Andrew Hellman in the comments section! However, I've recently traveled to Italy, home of Machiavelli, and I am prepared to contest ownership with all my wit and cunning.
A meager posting rate is in direct and inverse relation to the enjoyment and busyness that I've been experiencing here in Europe. There has been little slow time (and even less access to internet), so I've been saving the memories for capture here at a later time. Also, my camera seems to have a tough time accepting the fact that I'd like to unplug from the USB port after uploading a photo or two, and I've lost a couple of pictures during the process. So, once I can get the camera home and upload the whole lot to my hard drive, I'll share some gems with you all.
A small story to share before signing off on this Tuesday evening: In Switzerland, they have built a literal tree-house at the top of of the mountains that divide the Zurich and Zog Sea. The tower is called Albis tower, and it allows a 360 degree view as far as the eye can see. It starts getting unnerving about halfway up the spiral staircase, and it is flat out uncomfortably high from the top. My friend Gabriel had the idea to start shaking the railing like a kid jumping in an elevator from the 80th floor. The Swiss are crazy to have built such a tower, so I guess that shaking it comes with the package. I took a video of the full panoramic view, and if I can figure out how to link videos, I'll share it. Check back on Friday this week.
Congrats to Julianna and company for solving the book puzzle. It is The Yiddish Policemen's Union by Michael Chabon. I'm halfway through and would already highly recommend it.
Tomorrow is my travel day back home, and I'll be back late. 'Til then, I turn the mic over to Andrew to provide the entertainment.
Ciao!

I see that you have accepted the challenge of blog-off. Not only did you post your a new entry, you also responded in the comments of your own blog. Thus, you appear to have fired two shots when really it was only one.
Good to hear you're enjoying yourself. I will not post my European Vacation Adventures because you are on your way back. I concede defeat. You retain ownership of your own blog.
Andrew
