Ok, so my Spanish speaking ability is somewhere between really lousy and non-existent but I thought I knew a few words. Apparently not. So far this has been most clearly demonstrated by my butchering of the Spanish word for chicken, "pollo".

The plane touched down in Quito, Ecuador around 2300. After checking through customs I finally met the rest of the research party. I would tell you what everyone's name is and what they do but after 17 hours of taveling, nothing they said seemed to stick. I was pretty much in survival mode only. Without too much fanfair the group made it to the hotel, checked in and (a few of us) proceeded staight to the bar.

Despite having lived in many parts of the US I'm pretty accustomed to saying that when I think of the holidays I generally think, cool/cold weather, good warm foods, fires, sweaters and maybe an occasional white Christmas.

Well there comes a time in a man's life where he decides it's time to get that obscenely large 50" HD capable, plasma television... I'm not there yet. Instead I went out and got a bed. So by now you're probably asking yourselves (Cass & possibly Eric, the only two people who know this blog exists) why does a bed justify it's own entry in a blog... because it truly is just as amazing as that 50" HD capable plasma television. I'm talking about the Sterling Silver Lining 7500 with the memory foam inserts, king size of course. The bed for when only the best will do.
