Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Hello, friends. Thanks for joining me here today. It’s always appreciated.

Today’s endeavor is different, and, truth to tell, is probably not going to be particularly interesting to most. A bit of an understatement

I’ll begin by saying I’m no cosmopolite. Especially not now, of course, as my geriatric status doesn’t lend itself to much travel at all. Besides, travel is very expensive, and this erstwhile teacher/coach/assistant principal/program coordinator never made much money. That was simply the way of it then, so I’m not complaining.

Now, having gone into that lengthy preface let me mention, just mention, the names of some of the places I’ve visited. Faulty memory being what it is, I’ll probably leave a few out. I can assure you, however, that I really have been to the ones I will list.

I’ll begin here in the good old U.S.of A. (Well, it was once mostly good, but that’s another thought for another time. Or not.). I’ll begin with cities.

New York City. Hartford. Pittsburgh. Philadelphia. Washington, D.C. Richmond. Norfolk. Raleigh. Durham. Greensboro. Winston-Salem. Asheville. Charlotte. Columbia. Charleston. Savannah. Atlanta. Jacksonville. Fort Lauderdale. Orlando. Miami. Chattanooga. Nashville. Knoxville. Louisville. Indianapolis. Memphis. Morgantown. Kansas City. Dallas. Oklahoma City. Minneapolis. Denver. Colorado Springs. Albuquerque. Salt Lake City. Idaho Falls. Seattle. Reno. Sacramento. San Francisco. Los Angeles.

There are some states I’ve been through, parts of, but not in any specific city. Here are some of those: Arizona. Wyoming. Kansas. Alabama. Maine. Vermont. New Hampshire. Perhaps one or two more, but enough of this.

So. Are you up for the countries? I’ll simply list the city, or perhaps the country, if I haven’t been in a specific city therein. Here goes.

Munich. Nuremberg. Berchtesgaden. Berlin. Vienna. Copenhagen. Zurich. Bern. Brussels. Luxembourg. Venice. Verona. I feel I’ve left some out, but as they say in New Jersey, “Enough already.” And to think some of you didn’t think you would find all this interesting. (An effete attempt at humor.)

Later, you all.
