But nevertheless we shall at least try to enjoy a French summer, even though it may be our last here, and a last holiday at all, for a while.....:-/
Going to spend this summer getting the house in order.

I hope you get what you want.
HH
The French summer is a splendid choice. You will miss it more than you know. Still it's not like you can't go back.
HH
I am often told to get my house in order.

In September we're off to visit some friends in Dubai (and a bit of duty-free shopping!)
Firstly though we're off to Norway on Sunday for a bit of snowboarding - can't wait !!
Damn, Frizzer!
You sure do get around!
I actually forgot to mention a short tour up to Hell's Canyon this May.
Whaddya know, HH? Me? Hell's Canyon? Your dreams might just come true!
-bf
Me and my little family are taking a trip to San Diego, California. Can't wait!
Fortunately the mountain biking and Dubai trips involve staying with friends so I only need to pay the transport costs.
I guess we're quite lucky in that we have friends and contacts all over the place so it makes holidays a bit less expensive
Great Zoo.
HH
I doubt the border guard would have known the difference.

I shall be spending the summer at my beach-side Villa in Monte Carlo.......
Then to Mauritius where I'll be staying at the lovely Beau Rivage in a Maharajah style suite which has a spiral staircase up to a private sundeck and Jacuzzi.
Then I think I'll pop over to Carthage, in Tunisia, to have a look at the ruins and maybe attend the annual summer festival in the Roman theatre. Yes, they still use it. Change comes very slowly in this part of the world.
Then it's off to Antarctica to have a look at the whales, seals and penguins. Of course I'll be taking the Marco Polo, my favourite 22,000 ton luxury liner. I mean what other choice is there, really?
Then a hike up through the Andes to Ecuador and the Galapagos islands, which I have always wanted to visit. I may scoot over to Peru to see my friends at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, the only hotel within the sanctuary of Machu Picchu Inca citadel itself. Of course, I'll be taking the five day hike up the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu because it is one of the world's greatest journeys, and well worth the ordeal when you reach the top. I will not be taking the train like some wimps I know!
Then I'm off to Costa Rica to watch red hot lava exploding from Arenal Volcano, hike in the Monteverde cloud forest and then I'm going to watch the turtles lay their eggs in the sand. I'm staying at Makada by the Sea, which is between Quepos and Manuel Antonio National Park, Costa Rica's most beautiful park. It encompasses tropical rainforest and three white (really white) sandy beaches and more than 100 mammal species and 180 species of birds, including the rare white ibis. I may see dolphins or a pod of migratory whales, and maybe even a few squirrel monkeys (another endangered species) playing in the trees about the trails.
We used to have a squirrel monkey when I was growing up in Montreal. They don't do very well in captivity.
Then I'll be heading back home at the end of August. I have to cut my vacation a little short this year but that's O.K. I really don't mind because I have a lot planned for next year.

I'm going with Brigid........... and she's paying!

1) Go to the UK to spend an evening with Nick and Fede playing strip poker and gettin' all liquored up. Maybe I'll short-sheet their bed!
2) While I'm there, I will hook up with Frizzer and play some rousing games of "Rock, Scissors, Paper" and then we'll drink and start giving each other some odd piercings.
3) Stop by and see Simon. I figure we can go to France and he can show me how to make some money on the streets of Paris! Big bucks...no whammys! Then we'll go to EuroDisney (is that still open?) and ride all the rides and eat corndogs and wear Mickey Mouse ears. If not, we'll just have to make our own Amusement Park at his house. Then... off to the Mime lessons! Oui! Oui!
4) On the way back home, I'll stop by Michigan and have a staring contest with ZM. I think we might even go to Sturgis and just get the bajesus tattooed out of us. He'd look hot on a Harley wearing nothing but chaps and a Harley Davidson tank top! Grrrrrrr!
5) Head up to Canada for sushi and nude hang-gliding with Brigid. Pictures forthcoming!
6) Come back down state side into Missouri, since we seem to have a large Missouri contingency, for the NewBuddhist parade in St. Louis this July - followed up with some oil wrasslin' and bbq!
6) Stop by Yodamama's place to see her hubby and daughter. Then I hope we'll spend the afternoon making tofu doughnuts (during which I will give her an Atomic Wedgie...shhhh!)
7) And lastly go spend some time with Palzang over in the southwest. That should be as fun as last time. Remember Pal? When I was there last time? The racquetball and snapping towels at each other in the locker room? You might want to wear something besides the robes this time - I spanked you in every game last time...LOSER!
8) Then back to town with Keithg hitting some of the Octobrewfests in the Pacific NW! then we'll hit a couple of State Fairs and make tons of money carving newbuddhist members heads into apples and selling them at the Fair!
Yeah...baby! Sounds like a great summer!

So, HH, when you come back from your holiday, will you be nice and polite and sweet?? If so, who will "ruffle our feathers" all the time around here??
I don't remember inviting you to our house. And I don't eat doughnuts.
Remember, when I want your opinioin... I'll give it to ya.
-bf
I cannot await, two weeks of singing socialist anthems and doing hard graft in a factory making skoda's.
And no there will be no surrender Yodamama. Keep on keeping on as Curis Mayfield once said.
Soon you will all live in a Socialist utopia.
HH
-bf
P.S. Do you still want the Atomic Wedgie???
You are not the full ticket. However I do find you a good laugh.
HH
You're kinder than my friends and family.
-bf
As for the wedgie - absolutely! Only if you give one to my husband as well. He enjoys a good wedgie.
Just the word makes me laugh!
Uh oh...did I just go off subject?
Christ, how defuntional are you people.
What ever happened to boy meets girl. Le Fin.
Instead we have have girl on boy plus boy wedgies.It's just not ethical... is it ?
HH
Back to school for me.
HH
You're so damn uptight, HH. Live a little for heaven's (non-existant realm reference) sake.
You must be ole Mr. Wham, Bam, Thank You Ma'am!
What's wrong with shakin' things up a bit and doing some playin'? You ever think of taking some one out for a little winin' and dinin' before ya just jump on the saddle for eight seconds (American rodeo reference)!?!?!
Nothing like a good old fashioned Atomic Wedgie or (dreaded) Rear Admiral to get things going, I always say!
Viva la Wedgie!

There are now officially 9 practices, The Noble Ninefold Path:
Right Posting.
And these...well....oh, nevermind.
I was laughing so hard for the last 4 pages that I spilled my whole cup of tea...and didn't even notice, until just now!
We need to have a party with all of us there.
Man Oh man I'm no longer waiting for the revolution.
Long live Ikea.
HH
LMAO!!
Brigid
("Long live Ikea"!!! Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!)
LOL!!!!
