I need to get off this continent. I haven't traveled outside the U.S in 8 years. And the last place I visited was Texas - TEXAS! Not a big fan. But most texans scare me, soI won't elaborate.

I must see the Louvre...and Munich....and Rome...Florence...New Zealand.

Give me more ideas...what's your favorite place in the world...and why.

"Allez un peu courage"

I was building a stage for a french show and I found that scrawled on the underside of one of the faux marble pieces.

"Go with a little courage"

I love it!

There's nothing better than a friend - who at the end of a long, successful party - will agree to join you as you both create an interpretive dance to the Say Anything anthem of our generation - "In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel.

I mean really - when you eaten as much guacamole and baked brie as you can stand, and have drunk enough wine to get a small country intoxicated - you need to get your groove on and do a little free-form dancing.

Thanks TJ - you're my Lloyd Dobbler.

So I was born in the year of the Dragon. Interesting. Here's what I found out about THAT little factiod.

Year of the Dragon
Dragons tend to be popular individuals who are always full of life and enthusiasm, with a reputation for being fun-loving. They make good priests, artists and politicians.

Good priests? Nope. Not for me.

Good Artists? Ding! Ding! Ding! - hit that one on the nose.

Good Politicians - I am very politically aware and active in local issues...

Hmmm...maybe there's something to all this astrology.

That - and it is pretty cool having a Dragon as a symbol. My mother and sister got stuck with Sheep and Dog, repsectively.
