(54,378 posts)I had catch-up paperwork all day, had to meet with some people from Holland, run out to get train tickets down to Köln, get back to the house, dash out again in panic to get the train to Köln with my wife, grabbed some Asian fusion dinner in the Köln train station, got a local train back across the bridge over the Rhein, waited in line out in the cold to pick up our tickets, waited in the arena, nearly gagged at the commercial "motivational" crap of the organizers, after Obama grabbed a local train back to Düsseldorf, switched to the local back to our town, ran through the most important email from my head office in Dallas, and then wrote out the OP. I got to bed around 1 A.M. and had to get up again at 5 in order to be at work in Brussels today at 10. I am writing this in the train halfway to the German-Belgian border at 8 AM German time. There is no rest for the weary!
