Bandwagon Narcissim and Insomnia

Well, well, well. It's 1 A.M. here in Texas and I just can't sleep. Because

I'M GOING TO SWITZERLAND.

Which explains why you're reading this. Because otherwise, I'm sure you don't care about my sleep schedule. (Unless you're my mother. Hi Mom!) But I can't sleep. And it would seem that traveling abroad warrants enough socially acceptable narcissism to start a blog. Plus, you all read about my otherwise boring days which are made suddenly glamorous and oh so exotic and comment about how jealous you are. I like the sound of it so far.

But actually, I just want to have a place to write down exciting things that happen and keep people updated so I don't come back and you all go, "I'm sorry, who are you again?"

That could be terribly awkward.

So, bookmark it if you wish, I'll try to update at least once a week and include only the interesting parts. Hopefully this blog suffers a better fate than the stacks of cute journals and diaries from earlier years. The first pages were laden with all the detail and passion a ten year old could muster, only to be forgotten and left to gather dust because there were ponies to ride, forts to build, and games of tag to play. Let's hope I've matured and I'm not distracted from writing due to those activities still. (It's still a bit of a challenge, though.)

Well, I'm receiving some texts suggesting (as only fathers can) that I go to bed. Probably a good idea. So, I guess I'll leave you with this fun little quote from one of my favorite Swiss people to get myself in the mood for adventure and new ideas. The next time I update I'll be in Switzerland. :) Au revoir!
