Also, birthday happies to Hec and JZ, and YAY JESSICA!
Also, --ma to Maria, Aims, and all else who need it (sorry, I can't find the tilde on these darned Italian keyboards).
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
We love you too, Sean! And it's awesome hearing about your trip!
Speaking of trips. I need some advice. A little more than a year ago, Jon's boss gave him a $5000 go-anywhere-you-want travel thing for being at the bar 10 years. He decided India, so we planned a trip for that November. A month or so later, I got my current gig. I am contracted here, and am likely to stay contract for another year (On 7/27 I will have been here a full year). I absolutely love it here, and love everyone I work with. We put off the trip because I would have only been here 6 months.
November is rolling back around and we're looking at a use it or lose it thing with the trip. I do not know how to broach this with work. Jon can go himself, but it's three weeks (I can see Pix rolling her eyes at me as this is nothing to her and ND's time apart). Also, it's a life-changing trip, and I think after a lot of the things we've been through in the past few years, we need to do that life changing together.
I don't mind not being paid for any of those weeks, and being in November, I could even use some of the holiday. I just have no idea how to bring this up and make it work for everyone.

I can't wait to share the pictures.
The only other downside (this word is far to strong for my uses of it) to this trip is that Italy is MUCH MORE HUMID than I thought it would be.
I'm starting to miss my semi-desert just a little bit.
But I could totally live here. With AC.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's only a downside if you don't take it as an opportunity to eat extra gelato. Just sayin'.

DJ, I think if you present it as you have here, you'll be fine. Also, it's plenty of notice.

HFC GELATO EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!!!!! (at LEAST once a day)
The ONLY place we've had a problem getting gelato was in Montepulciano. Unlike everywhere else in Italy, there's only one tiny, hard to find gelato place in the whole town (as far as we could tell).

But we DID eventually find it. And ate it.
