Technically, it won’t end until tomorrow night when I step off the plane in Rome.  Wow.  Rome.  I have the hateful habit of dissociating from good things.  I won’t believe it until I step off the plane and into a taxi and land in our B & B. 

Right now I am so worn out from writing non-stop that I have vowed not to take my ms.  Of course, I WILL have my netbook, and it WILL be on there, so if I get antsy on our "at sea" days on our cruise, I will be able to indulge my writer’s OCD.

This is a research cruise for my second Crazy Ladies book, to be set on a cruise to the Greek Isles and Italy.  At the end, I get to visit my beloved Florence and our friends there from last October.

David is doing his unbelievable gadget thing.  His latest is a clock by his bed that projects the time onto the ceiling in red light.  So when he wakes, he doesn’t have to turn his head to see the time.  I ask you!

The thing he’s most excited about is the light he gets to turn on in our bedroom (on a timer, of course) that mimics the light from a television.  He’s gone out to wash the car, which is suspicious.  I suspect him of combing the Home Depot for more gadgets.

I wonder if they have gadget stores on the Greek Isles?
