In this somewhat less than exciting blog I will examine the adventures that I have in life, mostly in front of the televison, while eating dinner or in my perpetual quest to finish all of my dammed grading. I hate grading!!!

Countries, Territories, assorted rare states I have visited 5



Amsterdam, Summer 1982. I was only 16, if you know what I mean. I was on the way to Denmark. My father had lymphoma and it looked like it was his "farewell tour". But my father wasn't going to throw in the towel just yet. On the way to Denmark to meet my grandmother and father (who was there looking for cancer treatments not available in America) I had a layover in the Amsterdam airport. I had never been to an airport that sold cars before. I was amazed. How could the Netherlands be this cool? I saw this airport one more time, in 2004. Since 1982 I have been all over the world. The Amsterdam Airport hasn't changed much. There is now a museum and a nice book shop. I didn't notice the Casino in 1982, must be new. Someday I must leave that airport and see the rest of the Netherlands.
