An Eventful Week...

What's been going on over the past week?

A whoooooole lot!

I had to struggle through a few days of bachelorhood (thank God I'm married!) while Mrs. TBF participated in a mentoring program in Zermatt.

Sure!!!! While she whooped it up, I struggled to find any morsel of food to eat.

OK...that was a lie.

She spent endless hours in classes, and then worked her muscles to their absolute limit and defied death while going on a three-hour gorge "hike" which she describes as:

"...hanging-on off the side of a cliff for dear life!"

And me? I just went over to my friends' homes and ate all their food and drank all their wine.

Burp!....Hic!

On Monday, at 9:00 a.m., we walked out of our apartment as we left for Amalfi, Italy.

Five-and-a-half hours later, at 2:30 p.m., we sat at one of the restaurants at our hotel toasting to the good life and enjoying the local fare.

Life, and weather, are good!

Your Money Is No Good Here!

My parents didn't actually say that while I was visiting them, but I kind of acted as if they did. In hindsight, I have to admit that I really didn't make much of an attempt at all to reach for the money clip while I was visiting the folks. Well, I guess I did reach for it when I saw a shirt I liked in a store window, and...a belt at the Lucky store (both in West Palm Beach).

JEEZ! What a bad son I am - I made my mom carry my stuff, and I didn't pay for anything during my visit!!! OK, I guess I bought a couple of Starbucks coffees and a Danish or two, but...that was about it. When it came time to eat meals, my pockets were suddenly, magically sewn shut.

But, I guess my parents didn't really seem too concerned about my freeloading. I mean, they looked pretty happy to me.
