Do you believe in second chances?

Yesterday at 7:20am I made landfall in Holland. again.

It was my third pond crossing of the year. I am so used to flying - the trip was over before I knew it. I watched all or parts of three movies. 1. Tropic Thunder - so boring I switched over to watching Hannah Montana episodes instead. 2. Mammia Mia! - absolutely wonderful, time flew 3. Wanted, an action movie starring Angelina Jolie - surprisingly good.

The only noteworthy part of the flight was my argument over food with a flight attendant. There were 3 dinner options - only one was vegetarian and they were running low on it. oh well. Airplane food is going to be bad regardless, but I do have to stick to my principles.

Everything in Holland is so familiar. The yellow signs with train times, the middle aged women with short spiky hair, denim jackets and incandescent lipstick, their daughters in opaque tights, denim mini skirts and Ugg boots. I recovered from disgusting airplane coffee by stopping to enjoy some java at the Schiphol Grand Cafe.mmm...

I spent most of the rest of yesterday in a semi-vegetative state. My most significant accomplishment was getting my computer connected to the internet. Today my most significant accomplishment has been watching the annual arrival of Sinterklaas on TV. Oh well. Starting Monday, I will rack up so many signifcant accomplishments that I think I can afford to chill for a bit right now. Will keep you posted.
