Spammer for a day

Apparently my psueo-celeb status makes my own stinging by the evil-doers at Quechup all the more blog-worthy.

My post describing my shame has been mentioned in Dwight’s Techblog, Anne Heathen’s Librarianne blog and Dan’s Wisdom of a Distracted Mind blog.

And now, JOY OF FREAKIN JOYS, I’ve been linked at Boing Boing….

Traffic to baldheretic.com is through the roof right now.
We’ll see if the site can hold on and weather this category 5 Internet hurricane.

Also, still fielding responses to the invite coming in at a steady pace as well as over 100 invitations to join Quechup.

I am dreading the show this Wednesday….

Rail Passes

Eurrail passes arrived in the mail! We’re counting down the weeks at this point.


We did some fine tuning on the itinerary over the weekend. Looked online at our flight reservations and discovered our flght time from Granada to Barcelona had changed. Not a big deal, we’ll just have to get to the airport a few hours earlier than previously anticipated.


Cynthia and I have each done a test packing. It’s a challenge getting everything you need into a backpack but we are managing. We have learned that travelling light is the only way to go.


As Cynthia likes to say, there’s probably not too many women her age willing to travel with me across Europe with only a backpack full of supplies. I’m sure that’s true, but I have to remind her that backpacks were HER idea!
