September 24, 2007: Heading for Europe.

  We are heading for Europe this afternoon.  First stop is Zurich and then we have to go to Germany.  My friend will be telling his company that the decision has been made to sell to a new owner.  I have a feeling it will be a rather emotional trip for him.  So hopefully I can be there to support him a little bit.  We will be in London later this week.

  The weather is COLD over there and warm here in Canada.  Go figure.   Looks like a lot of rain chances while we are there.  I like the rain so I can live with that.  Good thing I brought some winter clothes.  We leave for the airport at 2:30 and then the plane leaves around 5 this evening.  So we should arrive early in the morning on Tuesday.  I think that is right.  I forget with all the time zones we pass through.  I guess we get there when we get there.  Hopefully I can sleep on the plane.

  Tony said he is going to put an Ad in the paper to see if he can find me a hill in Northern Graves County.  Perhaps that is a tactic we should have tried before.  There has to be something out there…somewhere!  I was watching a show last night and they panned up and showed all the stars – it made me remember living on the farm.  You could see the Milky Way Galaxy…millions of stars.  I miss that!  Then there is the sunsets.  I miss those as well!!!!! 

  I did get an update on the small business in Kirkuk, Iraq.  He has all of his money now from donors.  So that is good news.  He can move forward on his project.

  More later…
