The last week started off quite hectic, as I was busy at work, but ended nicely with a trip home for Jew Day Jew Year (duh, my bad), as my friend Steve affectionately called it. Today was a bit of a mixed bag as the Bears and Cubs won, but my flight was delayed and I think I'm coming down with a cold.

A week from tomorrow I leave with Jori for my trip to France and Italy. I am tres excited (and practicing my French). That should leave me with just enough time to book one last hotel and figure out how I'm going to deal with all the photos I'll be taking.

Now I'm heading to sleep in an effort to ward off whatever cold is trying to attack me, even though I have a couple more things I'd like to get done.

Night.
