Smackie the Frog

Well it is just about the time. In about 45 minutes I’m going to hop on the Metrolink and head to the airport to begin this journey. And I am nervous, and scared, and excited all at the same time.

Today so far has been pretty good. The lovely Ms. Kelly took me out to breakfast. Then I rode with her to work and took the Metrolink to work. That is where I am now. And as you might imagine, I’m getting a TON of work done. And I’ll be leaving here in about 30 minutes to head to the airport.

From there I’m flying to Chicago, where I’ll sit around for a couple of hours, and then hop on the plane to Brussels. That is about an 8 hour flight, so I’m going to get into Belgium around 8 Belgium time, or 1 in the morning St. Louis time. Which is going to make sleeping on the plane interesting. Tonight I’ll be going to bed around 7:00.

There isn’t too much more to say right now. All of the packing is finished. I think that I’ve remembered to bring everything. So au revoir, and I’ll talk to you from the other side of the pond.
