Yeah, we seem to have a lot in common. Can we add a wee dram of single malt and some nice flaky steak & mushroom pasties? ---

I was going to say Calabria in southern Italy. My grandparents were born there and I’d love to do some research on the family. I also thought southern Italy sounds like it would be warm. But it’s only 44 degrees today, raining with a chance of snow! Here it’s 21 below with the windchill. Even though 44 degrees is much warmer, it’s not warm enough! So anywhere that the temp is above 75. ---

New Zealand. Been there once and didn’t see enough of the country. We spent 4 days on the North Island and 7 on the South seeing what we could. Next time we go, we plan on staying a month or so. Should get to see more then. ---

> [@Ike\_Witt](#): > > How about the International Space Station? I was thinking about the _West Wing_ episode, _Impact Winter._ In it, Bartlet’s body man – Curtis – has to carry Bartlet off the plane because Bartlet’s MS flared badly. As Curtis was carrying Bartlet, Bartlet cautioned: > you drop me, that’ll follow you the rest of your life. Similarly, be sure to get tested before your trip to the ISS. Infecting the astronauts … that’d follow you the rest of your life 😉 ---

It’s actually a pretty nice joint and the beach and surrounding walkable area there is first rate. If you do want warm and easy, you could do a lot worse. ---
