Hmmm. Today I traveled from England to Italy. I went to bed at 2:00 AM after spending a night on the town and saying farewell to Mike who left for home today. Our flight from London to Naples had us up at 4:00 AM and was compiled with one small disaster after another. The day did turn around though and Barry, Ida, and I had a great trip to Sorrento and the Amalfi coast. However it is 11:15 PM and I am tired. I spent 20 minutes composing tonight's TBL then somehow lost it! I'm going to bed and will redo it tomorrow night.

TBL - Get more sleep when you are traveling.


Here are some great pics from our last day in England.

This is Barry and me hanging out with comedian Kathy Griffin (you have to look close to see me - no this is not photoshopped - it is for real). She was in London for a show and was drumming up publicity on the streets.




















Ok. This is awesome. In the Making things Stick Book, they discuss how powerful simple and unexpected messages are. This guy came up to me and said, in his British accent, "Yo - Mate, I need some money for alcohol and cannibis." We kind of dropped our jaws. He continued "I'm just being honest, I'm not gonna tell you I want money for food or coffee when I'm going to use it for drink and smoke". It worked, we each gave him a pound (~$2).


















There are some darn fine bakeries in Europe. Barry and I are showing our appreciation for the goods.
























Mike giving us a periscope demonstration from his days on submarines.





















Everywhere we went in Germany and England we saw these beautiful yellow fields. It
turns out they are what will eventually become canola oil.
