America

Aaah...the United States! It's been great to be home, well, okay, in Georgia, which is becoming my surrogate landing spot, for the last 6 days. We've taken full advantage of being here by spending lots of time with family and friends and, in my particular case, wolfing down as much Craig's Crazy Carrot Cheesecake as I could...until I got sick. Okay, okay, so it's actually all of the traveling that has me a bit under the weather, and not so much the cheesecake...but saying that I'm bringing a headcold home from the states is not nearly as exotic as O.D.-ing at the Cheesecake Factory, right? M. has caught this doozy of a cold, too, so it would be correct to say that we'll be limping a bit as we head back to Germany tomorrow evening. Sickness aside, the trip was wonderful and it was great to be back home, even if it was only briefly. I miss it (and our families) already! 'Til next time...
