Hey all! Today was a big day in the life of my little brother. He is officially a college graduate. And much to my delight he will not have to go through the pain of looking for a job post graduation...he is employed! This actually was very important to me because my 6 months off between school and work were not that enjoyable and I did not want him to go through any of it. So, good for him. I love you Andy and I am proud of you. Enjoy your vacation time between now and your first day of work.

Ok, so it looks like the next month or so will be a heavy travel period for me. I found out on Wednesday that I will be flying to Milan, Italy on Jan 3, 2004. So I get to add another country to my list. Hopefully I will be able to actually see some sites other than hotels and hospitals this time. I think I will be in Rome for a few days and I intend on getting at least one pic of the Coliseum. I will be meeting up with a distributor of ours who will be my tour guide so to speak. It should be neat.

Then, the day after I get back I head out to Colorado for the annual guys' only ski week with my dad, brother, and a bunch of my dad's friends from Michigan. I missed it last year due to work travel so I am very excited about getting back out on the slopes.

Usually I hate to travel for more than a week at a time but this time around I don't think I will mind all that much. If it were two straight weeks of work I might bitch a little but I'll keep my mouth shut this time :)

Anywho, if anyone hasn't made plans for New Year's Eve yet you should consider visiting me out here in Western PA. I'll be in Lanc. for Christmas but due to the aforementioned travel I need to be home for New Year's. So, Andy and I are throwing a small bash at my place. If you want to come just let me know. Food, drink, Cranium (and yes, I will bloom for all of you if you ask nice) etc..

Well, that's it from my end. Later!
