ok, just a quick thing before i head to bed…

Are you all acquainted with the popular childrens book ‘Everybody Poops’???

I am assuming it is used by parents to help children potty train. Anyhow, when I get back, I think I’m going to write a book for travellers to Europe entitled

‘Everybody Smokes’.

Or, maybe even

‘Everybody Smokes here. Lots. They really, really smoke here a lot.’

Or,

‘Philip Morris Must Be Really Glad for Europeans, Because They Sure Smoke A Lot’.

Yes. Those of you who’ve been here will smile and agree. Those of you who havent, they smoke here a lot.

One more interesting thing. I’ve been using my Eurail pass a fair bit, and have discovered an unexpected benefit that I may be able to use for hockey. It seems I am developing a keen sense of balance. Why, you ask?

Well, let’s just say that it’s not super easy taking a leak standing in a train toilet while the train is travelling nearly 300 kph. You have to be creative.

Anyhow, shawnna is glaring at me ’cause the computer is in her room and she wants to go to bed, so Merry Christmas folks!
