Venturer or Authentic?

Think you are a great traveler of sorts? Take this little test and see what you are.

Here's mine.

Concierge is one of the sites I visit now and then. Sometimes they have interesting facts about places. Right now they have a contest to San Diego. Enter away.

Some of the places I plan to visit one day: Machu Picchu, Figi (several islands here), Cook Islands (same as Figi), Greece - mainland and the smaller islands (Rhodes), England, Ireland, Scotland, France, India, New Zealand, and Austrailia. There are others but those are the ones I want to visit first.

Anyone else?

Happy Holidays!

It's been an interesting December. Hope yours has been filled with much fun and excitement as one can stand.

I've been driving my new little car now for about a month and put 1200 miles on it already. I suppose it could be more if I was doing some consulting at various locations. I do like working at Waukesha Court House. The folks are interesting and the freedom to research and learn new things hasn't been available in, I don't even remember when. The IT folks I work with seem to like me. Maybe they don't know that I've supported more machines then they have in the entire organization. That's ok with me. I am loving this slower pace.

Friday night, the 22nd, was a night spent having fun at Mad Planet before the New Year. Billy Idol Matt showed up. I was so surprised to see him. It has been about a year since I last saw him. He's got a girlfriend now or he was putting his hand in a strange girls' pants pocket. Hopefully you'll be around more Matt! Otherwise stay in touch with either me or John.

Speaking of John. He recently had his bachelor party in Vegas. Way to go!! Glad to hear you had a fun time. We were able to do a little catch up at lunch on the 22nd. I was cool enough to take a break from my important and pressing movie time... I mean projector testing duties. Be Cool was actually hilarious and hoped that no one heard me laugh too much.

The 16th was filled with doting on my babies. Yep it was time for their haircuts again. Once I get my new 'puter up and rolling I should be able to post shots of my cuties sporting their dos. They are so so adorable. Right now, my boy is giving his sister a bath in the sun. Ah pets.

Christmas was pretty awesome for me. My bro was cool to give me cash and the Priates of the Caribbean #2 DVD that included a soundtrack. G-folks gave me a little more cha-ching with some decent presents and Mom gave me a gift cert to Brookfield Square. Now I just have to spend it all. Ooops I already did from the comfort of my computer chair. Yeah the funds were burning a hole in their envelopes. Overstock does have some sweet deals. I'll be the lucky receipent of: Lost season 2, Medium seasons 1 & 2, Prison Break season 1, and Bones season 1. I hope to have some quiet next weekend to watch all this DVD goodness.

Jen's bro was sweet to get me iTrip so I can listen to my iPod in my car using my car stereo. If you looking for something like that, I whole heartly recommend going to overstock.com to get it. They do have some deep discounts and don't forget to surf for some online discount codes.

Well I'm off to watch more movies on TV and possibly take a late nap. If you don't have plans for New Year's, stop by Mad Planet for 80s tunes, free champagne, and some eats.

Catch ya in the new year!
