DAY ONE
    Okay so I am used to it when I go with one of the folks from work.. but I think you set me up for an adventure with this one.. Hopefully she doesn’t see me hunting and pecking on this laptop..you know my shoulder still bothers me a little but the swelling has gone down.. so excuse any typos..  So after you dropped me off we went over to her house where she was running around like a chicken with her head cut off.. I being the cool guy just watched some Olympics (I love the tympani).. wow that Michael Phelps and those volleyball players.. anywhoo.. she’s packing up a storm.. the dog is sniffing me and this cat..cut it with the tail..

    Some of her friends came over we had some za and played some eukere.. I stink..so does she..at the card game.. everyone leaves and she starts with me and my stuff..I’m a simple dude.. green shirt..white pants and oh so cool comb for the hair.. the issue she’s having seems Dan scared her a little bit about my surgery and she wants to make sure I am as comfortable as possible.. now the new crib.. how come you guys never did that for me??  I so love it. It’s got A.C., kicking acoustics, I think there may be some satin or velvet in there.. so I am getting off this thing.. I think I am allergic to the cat..

DAY TWO

    Off we go to the studios.. I think Erin is nervous that I am going to leave.. in my traveling box.. note to self..must think of oh so cooler name for new crib.  We go to work and she goes to some meetings, lets me out to breathe, and edits some stuff.. they have a lot of computers and jeez it’s loud..I like our office..semi quiet and the pond..lake.. whathaveyou.. oh did I mention that she dragged me all over the newsroom to meet people.. I think they are curious as to our relationship.. I mean I am going to Scotland with the woman. She informs them we are friends and I am the consummate traveler.. also a good wing man..They also just made me watch the scene from “So I Married an Axe Murder” “The colonel with his wee beatty eyes and his seven herbs and spices.. and the kid with the head.. SPUTNICK.. I think they are trying to tell me something so now it’s back to the house and then arggh back into my kickin travel crate. No not funny.. think harder man.. anywho..now I am in the car with the ladies.. less than 24 hours and we’ll be in Scotland and I can get my kilt..I might try caber tossing..

    Tickets in hand.. we make it through security.. although they kept backing me up and..should I have asked for a lead vest?? I feel violated..ah the plane is delayed.. oh camera is coming out.. she thinks I am a rock star!!  Off to Cleveland.. she gets a picture of me srapped into my seat.. you’d think I’d never done this before..land in Cleveland..we wait.. seems there are some storms in New Jersey..and we wait.. waiting.. is that People magazine.. it’s a guilty pleasure.. Off to ..yawn.. Newark.. then to Edinburgh..

    Wake up fresh from my nap..and we missed our plane to Scotland.. here is where it starts.. Erin is patient.. and this Amy girl seems to be nice. they are traveling together we’ll meet up with other folks there but for now.. we are like Three’s Company..do do do doooooo.  Okay so it is 3am and we are driving around trying to find a hotel.. I am of course comfy in the box. The girls not-a-so much.. Ok back to the terminal.. Wait in line for two hours..I am sleeping I have no idea what those two did standing there for so long.. I did hear some lady complaining about getting to Dublin and some other guy wanted to go back to Cleveland.. uh duh did we not just leave there?? Oh wait.. I am being remiss..

 DAY THREE
    Yep here we are.. they said we could fly stand-by tonight or definitely get out on Sunday. Did I mention that Erin checked her suitcase and she left all the chargers and the doo-hickeys that import photos in there…so all the photos from Knox-Vegas and Cleveland are still in her camera.. not to mention her deoderant.. oh now that was not nice..so many more to come.. I kid I kid she’s fine..so we’re uhhh they are going to take naps.. since they have been up for over 24 hours now.. so one on the chairs (Amy) and Erin has some serape wrapped around her and she is sleeping on the floor.. it sort of looks like a homeless shelter in here.. people are everywhere sleeping.. However I am typing up a storm in hopes that she paid a wifi bill…
    Did I mention that I am about to start watching a documentary? She’s trying to make me a well rounded dude!! sweet..okay, well, I’ll let you know how things are going… I think there was talk of just going to the Caribbean.. but I told them I burn and it’s not a good idea.. so we wait..I’ll let you know..tell everyone at the office hi..hey was Friday payday??
Later,
AB
