Closing in ...

Busy week so far. Cold/flu/whatever to start with, exciting Dr's visit for checkup and vaccinations before the trip, and then the receiption at the Turkish consul general's residence Wednesday. Very nice (his English wasn't so good). Met a few more people going on the trip - should be fun.

Blog-wise I got the world66 section moved over the side versus the main section (and repeating with every post). The graphic is taking a long time to come up, though - wonder if it's world66 or the bittorrents I have coming down.

Brenna got voted off American Idol tonight, meaning that American still has at least a little modicum of taste left. Balanced out by the Survivor men complaining about crapping and puking from their bean feast. Nice.

Kudos to Continental for getting on the Amazing Race 9 debut this week. On the downside, it was the last flight to arrive in San Paolo. On the upside, it arrived ontime.
