Busy day.
Countdown only.
Does this count?
Yes, it does.

My always obsession...
Final Friday
2
Today is our last Friday in the States before heading for our great European adventure. We're all excited about Greece, and we all have things we want to do there, but the thought of just going straight to Poland like we always do, heading straight to Babcia's for hugs and rosol -- part of me wishes we were just doing that.
Just the Number

Nothing really to say. Nothing to write about. Taking something of a break before the storm of pictures and thoughts in Greece and Poland. But we need the number...
Which isn't formatting correctly on the main page. I could track down the problem and fix it, but who really cares?

Ironing
It always amused me how much stuff the average Polish woman (and it's always the woman) irons. "Do you all iron even the underwear?" I once quipped.
There is a certain sense behind it, I guess, if you worry about wrinkles in everything. When I first lived there, I didn't. And I didn't even have an iron if I wanted to smooth out my clothes. "We always laughed about how obvious it was you were a bachelor" one of my former students once confessed.
Ironing sheets, though? Yep.
