From Thailand to Tucson...

Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

I used to love that program when I was a kid. Geography was my specialty.

So the time is drawing nigh where I have to figure out some vacation time for the rest of the year. We don't have to stick to the plan, but the person in charge of time off likes a tentative schedule to make sure 20 people aren't off the same week.

I've talked about it before, but I'm seriously beginning to make plans to go visit my friend Dean in Bangkok sometime in April. I know I know, the whole John Mark Karr, the whole scary military coup, the deadly tourist bombings on New Year's Eve...probably not appealing to the average traveler...but I still want to go. To me, it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Normally, I wouldn't say 'oh vacation time, I'm going to Asia." Since I won't have to pay for a hotel or lodging, it's just food, plane ticket, and incidentals. I just have to wait for my tax refund to figure out how much I actually have to spend for the trip.

Yesterday, I blogged about how a former coworker wants me to come visit and apply for a job where he works (we work for the same parent company). I'm still not sold on 115 degree weather, and I'm not a hundred percent there'd be an offer, but if I was flown out for a couple of days to interview...hehe...I couldn't turn that down.

Update: Gal Pal is back to work today. She's hoping to pass it on her own, if not it's back to the doctor in a week to have it surgically removed. Yikes!

Update: It flurried here this morning with highs in the 20's lows in the teens/single digits...hmm...maybe the wild, wild west isn't so bad after all???

Later!
