Lafayette, I Have Returned. The last time I landed in Europe, I got hammered by adversity in Athens and Naples. I ended up leaving with my shoulder tucked to my side.

I'm returning with a renewed wing on the 159th day of the best year of my life. I'll be spending the summer in Europe. I'm going to have a great time even if it's wet half the days in a typical European summer; even if my body isn't fully recovered until Odyssey gets to Germany; even if some people are still tuned to radio WBMC (whine, bitch, moan, and complain); even if hell freezes over.

Happy Trails,
Bruce
