How old am I again?

Every night when it is time for me to go to sleep I am absolutely exhausted, but I can't sleep... i think that it must have something to do with the fact that it is still light out after 10 o'clock... I am sure that this is what it must feel like to be four years old. It is 7 o'clock and the day is happening all around you, but you are being put in a LIGHT room and asked to go to sleep.... it really doesn't ease you into a good night's rest... and then to top it off... it is light again at 4:30 in the morning... so the sun peeks through the shades... and not so gently grabs me from my slumber... it is no wonder I have been tired and grumpy lately! Ah, can't win... I was bitter when there was only 6 hours of sunlight, and now I am bitter that there is only 6 hours of darkness... this is further evidence of my inability to deal with extremes.... On a completely different note, I am attaching some pictures of my trip to Belgium... normally I would post these separately, but really there isn't that much to say about Belgium. Bruge was beautiful... I would visit there again over Brussels. The chocolate and waffles were worth the trip, and the people were extremely friendly... especially in the pub pictured -- Susan and I drank (mostly water... expensive to get water so we spent the first day dehydrated) for 10 pounds total... all night... the bartender kept giving us free drinks... so I had some belgian beer... which is no guinness and some wine, and we had an enjoyable time. It did remind me that i have a lot of brushing up on my French before Hilary and I take our trip.... Oh and how could I forget the Manneken Pis... the peeing boy statue... you can see a woman in the picture taking video of me taking the picture... no doubt I am on some stupid tourist show... but she didn't try and interview me... and well... what else do you take pictures of in Brussels!
