Well, I'm overseas again. I don't think I've blogged about this, but tomorrow I'm getting a bit of a promotion. My "old" job was supervising the western hemisphere software development group. In about 12 hours, my boss is announcing that I will be adding the eastern hemisphere folks to my group. That means that he wanted me to come over with him to announce it here.
So, in a first for me, we stayed the night as a layover in Amsterdam. What a wild city. We got a hotel right outside of the Red Light District. That was definately a sight. For good taste reasons, I won't go into details here on the blog, but I can see why guys like going there.
And, no, I didn't smoke anything while I was there. I probably would have, but my boss was with me and I didn't want to put him in an uncomfortable position. But I did have to try *something*, so I had a couple of interesting drinks.Anyway, I'll post more pictures on Flickr sometime later. Right now, the jet lag is catching up with me. I didn't get much sleep last night and although it's only about 8 PM here, I feel like I've been up for 3 days solid. About an hour ago the shakes started. I feel like I've got the DT's...

I hate you.
yeah, what Cory said.
sweet
Lol. What can I say? Sometimes life is good stuff.
What did you think of the absinthe? Cory & I thought it was horrid.
To me, it tasted exactly like liquid liquorice. Not "horrid" per se, but drinkable.
I don't know how much was a placebo effect, but after the third shot (no, Adam, I didn't practice moderation per your suggestion), I just couldn't stop giggling. Hell of a lot of fun if you ask me.
That was the problem with it, it tasted like licorice. Exactly! Had we done three shots of it instead of trying to "drink" it, maybe we would've gotten the giggles too. :)
