Into Northern Italy again to visit the inlaws. My daughter's great Grandmother (which would be my grandmother in law for those keeping score at home) is still alive and kicking (although she claims to have been dying for the last 20 years) and my wife wants my daughter (20 months) to spend Christmas with her just in case she turns out to be right about her long predicted passing.
After that, I'm on the road up through Switzerland for a couple of days. Have a couple of customers I have to see. It's odd but I've noticed nobody trades with the world like the Swiss. They make next to nothing but can get their hands on everything. Probably going to train it. Did the same gig last year and it was like a Jacky Gleason Movie ("If it's Tuesday, It must be Zurich" type of thing).
Looking forward to it. A week on the road in Europe is a pretty cool time, even if it is business. Trains, great beer, wonderful food. Not bad.
Then back to Italy for New Year's Eve with my inlaws. I've already been told that they start eating around 10pm and stop around 3am on NYE. That is going to be cool!
