Not Not Pic of the Day - adios for now
As the sun sets gently in the west, our wandering wastrel, our meandering maunderer... heads off to Peru for a month.
A lesson learned. I remember talking with a friend who had a newspaper column in a major paper... and she was complaining about how brutal it was having to produce three columns a week. I remember thinking I could do that and still keep my day job.
I was wrong. This writing stuff is time consuming! I found that the posts took 2-3 hours, including fixing and uploading the photos and doing the research...
So anyway, thanks for all the good feedback. I had a good time producing the series. Perhaps when I return I'll be able to get back to it - maybe as Not Pic of the Week rather than daily... unless DW decides to sue for divorce due to computer abuse abandonment, in which case I might find myself with a lot of spare time.
One last photo... appropriate I think... Remember Me - with some Touch of Class and a little Kiwi Full Monty thrown in!

Oh have a wonderful trip!! You will be missed. I hope you'll tell us all about your trip when you get back.
And I've truly enjoyed your NPOTD's, they've been a breath of fresh air during my dull, dull work days. Maybe you'll at least consider "a hosta each month" (AHEM)?
Peace,

I will miss something..do not know exactly what... just something
Not even finished my philosophic refections yet..and you are leaving
Enjoy Peru- take care in Lima.. very much care of both of you... enjoy Titicaca an Machu Picchu. and area....and if DD had tro give an advise- go to the coastline and consume lobsters with lobsers.
Rest of her class went to Mac Donald after weeks on chicken, but she found a seafood restaurant and got lobsters, next day followed by some friends and a teacher, last day by most of them,..she still talks a lot about Peru, not only about the lobsters
Darn that girl have bee apple to eat seafood for 2 addults since she was 8 YO
She bought me a poncho made of lama wool... nothing better to use in a cool evening in the garden with a glass of wine and the light fading away....
Enjoy your trip, both of you

I also want to thank you for the NPOTDs and wish you a wonderful trip. The NPOTD was delightfully different, but I can certainly understand how much time it took to research them. Would be delighted to have more - weekly if you can do it or monthly if that's more realistic.

Sounds like a wonderful trip, Jim . . . hope it's all you expect and then some! I'll really miss your NPODs, and hope you'll consider doing at least NPOWs when you return. It's been obvious that you put a lot of time in on them and they've been entirely enjoyable and greatly appreciated from this end!
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
