The Time Has Come

I've decided to officially abandon this blog after having practically abandoned it already.  Keeping up two blogs wasn't working, so I'm closing up my When In Rome blog (the iWeb format is a pain to deal with) and leaving this one.  I've started a new blog where I'll post about our European adventures and whatever else is on my mind.  Please visit me at Europeanne and bookmark it or add it to your feed reader. I'm still tinkering with it and adding to my blogroll, but it's up and running.

Thanks for hanging in there with me.

Quote of the Day

From CDR Salamander:

Vote. Wallow in the glorious imperfections of our Representative Republic and vote. If you don't vote - then shut up. You are a slave; act like one and take what you are given.
