In the immortal words of one of my favorite
crooners – I’m leaving on a jet plane shortly. My wife has never been to Europe
and I’ve always promised to take her and well there you have it. With the contract
negotiations behind me I’m ready for a little down time. We fly out tonight and
spend the next four days in Switzerland, followed by a trip through Liechtenstein
(huh?) and into Austria and Bavaria for the next five days. This will have an
added benefit for you steady readers of Frail Deeds. You won’t be subjected to
my inane prattling for the duration of the trip! I won’t be posting anything on
Frail Deeds until my return the weekend after next. I have it on good authority
(my Favorite Panamanian’s) that I will have much better things to do. I do
promise to inflict a detailed account of our travels upon my return so you don’t
escape scot free. Be well!
