jrfromafar - JR

JR It's a fearful thing, but I am afraid I have to admit I have become a comfort creature, I like my surroundings, coffee done a certain way, pecking away at the puter, taking Baby (dog) on an outing and all. And it's true, that 2 days into the trip, it is possible that I would wish I could snap my fingers and be back home. Often I have flown across the Atlantic and thought to myself, 'what am I doing up here?' But here I go again.....
