Ok, this was a long one, because I had some time to write on the trains, I might break it into two posts.FYI, this is page 68 out of the 131 I wrote. Yes I have cut some parts out, as I rewrite it, but I haven't left anything important out.---My neighbors (the birds) and the bells woke me up at 7 again. The trees outside my window are host to what seems like 5,000 very talkative, vocal birds. I

If you forgot where we left off, click the Sicily 2008 label tag in the right column.Well, they shut off those bells early, but they also start ringing early. I was woken up at 7am with them clanging. I figured out the 15 min system though. There are two different sounding bells that ring. One tells you the hour, for example, 7 clongs (insert bell sound) would mean 7 o'clock (duh), then the

ok, I know this isn't the post you wanted, but when I watched this trailer, for yes, a chick flick, at the end, the last scene of it, when he is rewinding the video, it made me almost cry I was laughing so much.

Just a quick note about the last thing I said in the earlier post.A friend at work offered me two free SW Airlines buddy passes, that had to be used before next Thursday. What's a 'buddy pass' you ask? A free standby ticket, that I can use to fly anywhere SW flies. The catch is you fly standby.I quickly did some research, and found that there were still tickets available to the North Carolina Tar

Not looking good for a full post today, sorry.I am stuck in a 3 hour meeting, and it was supposed to be about a new assignment I would be taking over from a different group. It's been 2 hours and we haven't even discussed that yet.When it's over, I will be heading to the other side of campus for lunch, with Jerry and maybe Kel-Koo. Then I am sitting down with Jerry at his desk to show him how I

Real quick, a short break from the Sicily wrap-up.To answer Stacey's question...Ciro was our tour guide the first two trips (I think even the one I didn't go on). We became friends on both my trips, and last time there he made the offer to let me stay as long as I wanted with him. It started as a joke to find me a wife in Sicily. As time went by, we talked more and more about it, so I saved my

Ughhhh, I feel like I was hit by the train I'm riding on right now. Ciro woke me up at 7am. I almost got in the shower fully clothed, and in a zombie-like manner dragged my suitcase down the elevator outside to the street while Ciro got the scooter. Yes, I said scooter. We jammed my bag where he puts his feet, and I climbed aboard. It was about a 15 min ride to the station. I got in line for my

When I woke up today, I decided to relax, and not do any exploring. Since Dario was home, we talked for awhile. I got caught up on world issues on CNN International, and the latest election news, I also checked my emails on the computer. Ciro came by on a break from work (he only works 10 minutes from his apartment). We discussed the plan for the next few days. The train I needed to take from

Ok, now that I'm home, I'll wrap up day 6. Make sure you read the post below this one, to see where I left off.We left off at the end of dinner. I admit, I skipped a bunch of stuff I had written, all babble about me and Francesca, but at as we left, Francesca also tells me she will see me tomorrow, well, technically later that day, since it was around 1 when we left.

I woke up and said good morning to everyone. Dario (did I introduce him yet? That's Ciro's 15 yr old son) anyway, Dario was home from school, because there is a strike going on all across Italy/Sicily. The woman in charge of the education system there is proposing big budget cuts, involving the education system, and is closely tied to the prime minister who most everyone there can't stand, and

When I woke up today, Ciro was still home, told me he had taken a sick day, and would be staying home. That didn't mean we would be hanging out though. For his job, when you take a sick day, they send a doctor to your house. They don't tell you when the appointment will be, so you are stuck waiting around your place or get caught fibbing. Since the weather was going to be good, he suggested I

look for day 4 and the continuing story post probably tomorrow. I took a day off from work Tuesday, and been playing catch up today. I am really close to getting all the pics online, which will give me a slide show link to pass out. Then everyone will stop asking me for when they will get to see pictures.

If you are just tuning in, over the next few days(weeks) I will be transferring the notes I wrote in a journal, while on my trip to Sicily to the blog. One post a day, and pictures as I talk about certain things. Today will be day 1, when I left KC, on my long trip over. Enjoy, feel free to comment, and I'll try answering questions as we go.----------------Day 1--------Oct 25-------------------

So, for the people who read this, I wanted to let you know the plan....I'm writing this from Palermo, at Ciro's desk in his apartment.I have been writing everyday in a notebook about what I did, saw, and the other things the voices in my head told me to write. When I get back, have adjusted, and when I'm ready, I will start posting again here. Starting with Day 1, and you will get a new post once

Well, here it is, Friday night. My flight leaves at 1:27pm tomorrow. I take a quick jump to Chicago, and then around 4:30pm, I'm on my way to Rome. I land in Rome at 7:20am CET time, (that's central european time) take 6 hrs away and you'll realize that was a 9.5 hr flight. Then at 9:20am (CET) I make my last ride to Palermo.Total time since KC equals.KC--> Chicago: 1hr 28mLayover: 1hr 30mChicago

So I went looking for something online officially saying the disc was recalled and found this out."If you turn off BD-Live in the BD options menu on the PS3 it should work instantly. The reason it hangs is that waiting for BD-Live connection that it's not getting. Just answer "NO" when it asks you to connect to the internet and it should boot right into the movie options splash screen." and..."

So yesterday was my work from home day, yet when I woke up, my laptop would not even connect to the internet, let alone the network here at work. After trying for about an hour, I made the drive into the office. Guess what, no luck here either. I was going to have to take it into the walk-in PC clinic here on campus, but fearful they would be re-imaging my hard drive, and that I would lose allot

So I still haven't decided if I like this new show or not. I know the ads all claim the critics are saying its the BEST NEW SHOW!!!! Here are my concerns.It is a poor ripoff of X-Files, which I loved. What I liked about X-Files was the supernatural aspect of the cases. This week they are investigating aliens, next week some guy that slimes people then eats them, etc. So far, both episodes of

I am falling asleep, I don't want to get another cup of coffee, I just want to go home and take a nap.Before I post these....Raspberry, let me know how it turns out. I have made variations of that recipe, but lately, since it's always been for my sister, I kept it the way she liked. Tonight I am making a recipe that has become a favorite of mine. Garlic & Soy chicken, I like to eat it with some

As raspberry asked, Saturday my sister and her husband came over for lunch. I made her favorite Italian Chicken and Potatoes. For myself I grilled up some garlic and soy chicken breasts. I like the Italian dish, just not as much as she does. I have made it for her twice in the last month, and I like more variety. I think it's a semi-heavy dish, with all those potatoes. Since that's her favorite

So I got like 15 emails from raspberry today, yelling at me about not posting!! After I finished crying for being screamed at, I decided to come give her the fix she apparently needs.Here is the ad Defenders of Wildlife is raising money to air on TV, about PalinLast couple days have been hectic.

Real quick, because I am very busy at work.I added a couple new links to the left. I am sure you also noticed the banner ads I placed about the blog entries. The first one takes you to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The second one is to pimp out William F's new cd. If you go to the ASPCA's site, you can order a free pet safety pack, which includes a sticker to

After being so busy the last few weekends I spent this one planted on my couch!Ok I admit, I played about 20 hrs of that Xbox game, and am now on Disc 3. My biggest complaint is too much cut scenes. If you have ever played a lengthy game, the 'cut-scene' is one of those movie like parts, that you just read and watch. I want more game!!I did a few other things, but the only time I actually left

I forgot to say one thing yesterday in response to Kel's comment, regarding my Animal Rights Stance. After years of getting more and more involved, the more I saw, and learned, the more disgust I had for my fellow man. Even after Lisa and I split up, I tried to remain active, but I don't think I'm strong enough inside to take the toll it puts on a person. I am worried if I knew of a way to join

Before I answer Kel's question she left about my late post last night, a couple other things.Sons of Anarchy premiered on Fx last nite (as well as the new season of The Shield on Tues). I had to DvR Sons, and I'll have to wait on the DvD's for Shield, since I'm still working through Season 4 on Netflix.Let's go back to Tuesday.

Sorry to get political on everyone on that last post, I rarely pay close attention, but lately I have tried to watch how these elected morons act towards animal rights. His choice really makes me want to register just to vote against him now.First off, here is a good one for you, the opening theme (and closing credits) to the Denzel movie "Inside Man".

A few hours ago, the news broke that Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been selected by Sen. John McCain as the vice presidential candidate for the Republican ticket.As a Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund supporter, you are no doubt aware of Governor Palin’s dismal record, from her staunch support for special interests and Big Oil to her terrible assault on wolves and other wildlife.As much of the

So yesterday my buddy Frank came over in the afternoon. He is a plumber by trade, and what he did in 30 min, would have taken me hours I am sure. He fixed my toilet (it kept running), he installed a new faucet in the bathroom sink, and he fixed the pipes under the kitchen sink. Couple things about the kitchen. The last time he was over, he saw how horrible a job the previous plumber did

Yesterday, the weather was perfect for Golf. Too bad no real golf was played!! I had a couple shots that were ok, but more that made me wave my fist in the air and curse the game. I lost so many balls, but I am not upset about that. I actually left with more balls then I showed up with. All the time spent in the high grass looking my ball, I found plenty to make up for the lost one.Afterwards, I

So I finished up my week long on call shift for work. The biggest pain is lugging around the laptop everywhere. Most of the time I don't get a single call the whole shift. We get 8 hours of straight extra pay for just carrying the phone. Now if you get called, no matter how long it takes, you get 2 hrs of OT that first call. Any other calls, is OT as well, but if that first one only takes 5 min,

So far, today has sucked. First off, I woke up a little late. Let me start before that.Thursdays I work from home, and yesterday I had a dentist appointment for a cleaning. Andy and I had discussed pressure washing the driveway/sidewalk, or reinstalling my storm windows. Once I got home from the dentist, I decided I would start washing, until Andy got there. So I get the pressure washer started,

Ok, I snapped off a couple pics, but once I got inside last night and sat down on the couch, I was done. I had to stop at Target on the way home to get soft dog treats for JayJay, soda/pop/coke (whatever u call it), some chips (since I planned on grabbing goodcents after target), and I forgot antacid pills. I find myself taking allot of Tums, so I usually grab the biggest jug they sell. As I

I am so sore this morning, it hurts to walk, to sit down, and I have a feeling if I was lying down I'd still cringe if a strong breeze came my way.Friday, I rushed to my parents, loaded the pressure washer and the extension 18ft something ladder into my Mom's Armada. I rushed to my house where my buddy Andy was waiting, unloaded both of those, then rushed back to my parents to return my Mom's SUV

First off, I have to say....I LOVE smoked paprika. I finally found a grocery store that had it, and it was worth the $4.50 for the jar. This stuff smells so good if I thought it would make suds, I'd shower with it tomorrow! I haven't actually used it on anything, I just keep sneaking into the kitchen to grab sniffs like it is a crack pipe or something.Anyway..... I'm posting because my Garlic &

So yesterday, I watched a new Food network show. 'Ask Aida' airs Saturday mornings. I am so tempted to submit my own question, it would go something like this."Dear Aida,I am a big fan of your new show, and would like to submit my own question.Want to get married?Your Fan,Domenico "During Saturday's show she said it was hard finding a boyfriend in high school smelling like garlic (from cooking).

So I took Friday off last week and went golfing with my brother-in-law Victor. We started at 9am, thinking we'd avoid the really hot part of the day, and be done in time to grab some sushi for lunch. Unfortunately, the course was packed, and we spent most of the morning waiting on the group ahead of us, and being rushed by the group behind us. I grabbed 2 powerades from the clubhouse, planning on

Last night I watched 'Doomsday' before hitting the kitchen. The star Caryn Peterson may be smoking gorgeous, but the movie was pretty difficult to watch in its entirety. It seems like they tried to made a new version of Mad Max/Escape From New York/28 Days, and fell short on the attempt. I can't recommend this one, unless they offer it as a free rental, that comes with a bag of popcorn, and a 2

So lately with Netflix I have been ordering Television series that I had previously missed. For example, I cruised through the "Battlestar Galactica" series (now waiting for this years final season to be on DVD). I also enjoyed the two part 'The Lost Room', and was very disappointed to read Sci-Fi channel had no plans for a series or more episodes. (I still recommend it, it was great). After

So I get these 'Defenders of Wildlife' email alerts, and usually they have a form letter you can modify, and send off to your local politician. They result in a 'form letter' response, sometimes through the snail mail, or e-mail. Well there is this huge fight going on regarding drilling in Alaska. So I did the email thing, and get a BS form letter back from the so called Senator Roberts here in

Oh my garsh! My buddy Alex left a comment!!!Another digital photography post, mixed with a little photoshop trickery. As I continue to learn how to take better pictures at night, I want to add the ability to take a picture with 'depth of field'. my first trip to Italy, I actually did this, when I was asked to take a picture of one of the couples on the trip. It was a complete accident, but the

Well first off, the beautiful D-Lo left a comment asking about the Italy party, I'm sure at some point I posted here about. So, to answer her question....July 5th, my parents had a party at their house for the group of people who traveled to Italy last October. The slide-show/movie I created from the pictures was going to premiere and as an extra treat I cooked for everyone. I went over early to

AGT, as my friend Kelly termed it, is the TV show America's Got Talent, on Tuesday nights. Since I went to the Royals game, I watched it last night from my DVR.My early favorites, are Eli, the guy who sang the excellent Marc Cohn song 'Walking in Memphis'. Eli sang it a bit fast, but wow, he has a great voice and stage presence. If you liked that song, and have never heard his other hit 'True

So a couple days ago, the shocking, breaking, no one could have guessed it news about the singer Amy Winehouse hit CNN. Apparently her lungs are bad, may have emphysema, etc etc. Her father, being the genius that he is, was quoted blaming her condition on smoking, and crack.

Last night I watched this week's episode of the TV series 30 Days. The show is about taking someone out of their element, and putting them in someone else's, for you guessed it 30 days. Last week they took an NFL player, and he spent a month in a wheelchair. They mix in some very interesting information during the show along with daily activities. So this week, I was eager to watch, because they

I admit, I cruise around 80mph the whole drive down the hwy. This above mentioned idiot, slows down to about 58 mph. We were in traffic, but he could have at least kept it around 65.

Sorry for the long subject, but this will truly be a wrap-up post!First up, did anyone else watch the finals yesterday and the performance Tiger Woods put in this weekend? Saturday he had two eagles to take a lead. Sunday he loses it, and is going into the final hole, even par, and behind the leader by 1. So he needs a birdie to force a tie/playoff. I have to admit, it is hard to not cheer for

Before I show you a picture of the beautiful h.a.w.t.i.e. I just discovered after watching Cloverfield. I wanted to share a clip from Shanghai Knights.Last weekend, I had to run by Target to buy dog treats, so as usual I browsed through their DvD section. I have also been on the hunt for a certain weather alert radio and I was hoping they had it(they didn't). I always check movies at Target,

So, for those of you who read this on a regular basis, you know I am planning a trip back to Sicily, been talking to a couple friends there, and spent a few months after the last trip putting together a fancy DvD slideshow/movie. I have pasted links to a much shorter version here, but the real one is a 45 minute long show, and the DvD plays like a movie, with chapters by location, menus, titles,

Couple things I wanted to share that made me laugh a little when I saw them, over the last few days.The first being on Sunday, when I went by Popeye's chicken for a Shrimp Po'Boy and Cajun rice meal. Their Cajun rice is deeelicious. It also reminds a little of when I would sneak home from college and stay with my sister down in Westport. We would always make a trip by the Popeye's so I could get

This weekend I had a busy Saturday. I took both dogs to the vet, and that is always an ordeal. I know Barkley loves car rides, JayJay I am not as sure. She refuses to lay down in the car, and I just can't tell if she would have preferred staying home! It was time to get their nails trimmed, Barkley needed a follow up heart worm test, and I wanted the Doc to check both of their ears. Last time I

Sorry for the late afternoon post. Ever have one of those days where you just don't feel like doing anything? I mean not even showering, leaving the house, or even turning on the TV.

Three day weekends...I think should last at four days minimum. I do admit, after a couple days off, I get very bored sitting around doing nothing. It's weird because I could travel, and sit somewhere else and be fine. I remember my first (and only) trip to Key West, Florida. A 'friend' not a close one at all, in fact I can't really stand the guy anymore, was getting married there. They paid for

So I posted a few days ago about getting prescription lenses for my Oakley Juliet sunglasses, and how I was a little reserved about letting them ship the glasses off to the lab.

Ok, so saturday I head over to my parents to mow. I did set a record time of 5 hrs, probably because I only stopped once for a bathroom break, and skipped lunch. Not to sound bad, but knowing how much sun I get while mowing their yard, I took an old t-shirt and ripped off the sleeves, because I did not want a farmers tan across my upper arms (insert guns joke here).So here is what a z-track looks
