Big news!

Just got off the phone with my cousin B, who wondered if I might want to accompany him on a trip to Europe this fall because, A, I am fun, and B, he has diabeetus and does not want to travel alone.

The plan so far includes driving (stick shift, of course) through the Alps, hiking in the Alps, plus a big photo show in Germany and chow and (maybe) dead saint body parts in Italy.

Am v.v.v. excited! And honestly a little in shock. Am saying "holy crap" a lot, but quietly.
