Music selection- Ludo

Ludo’s a band out of St. Louis, and were unknown to me until a commercial for House on Fox. Without a doubt the most effective ad I’ve ever encountered.

 

The song, Love me dead.

 

Just Goth enough to shock a bit but with a lot of well played humor and some nice  musicianship. Plus, they use a Moog. Hadn’t heard one of those since Steve Winwood in the 80’s. Reccommended

Ouch

International Roaming is a bitch.

35 cents to send a text.

So, lots of wifi usage :)

Checklists

So, two days out, and  I’m spending my time washing an obscene  amount of clothing. I’m totally uncertain so how to pack for this trip.

I’ve not had a real trip on my own in almost nine years. I had one small vacation to six flags, but I was so mentally incoherent that I barely remember a thing. It was a bad time then. It’s a little better now. I’m a lot better off and a hell of a lot wiser, but the Situation, while  out of the best intentions, is grating me.

So I pack, mixed with some  light conversation and a little reflection.

Things I note:

My own washing is small. I don’t change clothes ten times a day, and can do a weeks worth in three loads, and even then it’s not much.

Lists keep me sane. I would not be able to function without them.

Modern air travel stinks. However I think I’ve got everything for four days to go into one carryon  and  a rollaway.

I need to get a few small things from here.  A good visitor brings gifts. :)

I’m glad this is already paid for. :)

-back to packing

Into

well, here is X+1 of however many blogs I've put up over the years

This one, however, is going to have a purpose.

 

First thing is going to be a travelogue…Starting with packing.

 

More later.
