I’m very happy with how my new header art came out. They’re all pics I’ve taken, and I organized them randomly. From left to right: Arenal volcano erupting in Costa Rica; friend Bill walking up the street in Como, Italy; Cahuita beach, Costa Rica; me at St. James Gate, Guinness Brewery, Dublin, Ireland; Temple IV at Tikal, Guatemala; Whiteface monkey in Costa Rica; St Mark’s Square from across lagoon, Venice, Italy; View from first tuk-tuk ride, Flores, Guatemala; snorkeling with a turtle and sting rays in Belize. Attached are a few pics that didn’t quite make the cut, though may make it into a future version.
I’m on a roll with these posting titles – pop culture 101. A week ago in a meeting, I joked that us Managers could complete our own performance reviews to save our Directors the work. Late last Friday they took us up on the offer to my surprise. So I put in 3 hours this afternoon, completing 2 reviews for others, and my own. I did quite excellent last year, in my humble opinion!
I was lucky to get myself out of the apartment given it took me 3 hours to fall asleep last night. I think it was bloating/gas due to the fiber suppliments I’ve started taking. Apparently once I turned 30 last Fall, my body felt the need for me to take in more fiber. So yet another suppliment is in the medicine cabinet. As I lay awake last night trying to get some sleep, I couldn’t help but reflect on the discomfort that is inevitable on the road, and the fact that I wouldn’t have my Sealy pillow-top mattress, clean, luxurious 800 thread count sheets, down comforter and down pillows to keep me warm and comfortable! While I’ve stayed in enough hostels to experience a great variance in the depth and cleanliness of mattresses and bedding materials, I’m sure I ain’t seen nothing yet!
