On the road again

As much as I generally enjoy traveling, it does get wearying at times so I've really enjoyed staying in Basel the past couple of weeks. All good things must end, however, as Gretchen leaves on Sunday to go to Paris with Lee and his friend Rex (I can't even imagine the stories they'll have), while I also leave on Sunday for several days of meetings in Amsterdam. The forecast for Amsterdam on Sunday is 75 degrees and sunny, which would be ideal since it's a great city for walking along the canals, and the only other times I've been there it's been gray and rainy.
