As you know, I’m always on the lookout for info on Europe but am finding the research task to be daunting....so many books and websites its overwhelming. So imagine my excitement when my boss told me about Rick Steve’s Europe series on PBS-free info on some of the every areas I’m going to!! It includes more than France, although I’ll probably skip those.
I’ve already watched the Provence and Riveria ones; they were good and informative, although in an introductory manner. (unfortunately I missed the Burgundy one!!!!) But good news-from the Complete Guide to all 83 episodes you can also read a script of each episode, should you have missed one.
But for those of you who prefer to watch vs read, go here for your local airtimes. (for us St. Louisians, it on very early-like 5:30am-thank god for DVRs!!!!)
Happy learning!

Friendly Facebook Discussion
I am a recent joiner of Facebook. Such as, the question of “what is a facebook friend” has come up between myself and my “real life” friend. Some people seem to be “facebook whores” and just want to rack up the friend count and friend every friend of a friend who they ever met or even looked at. I even received an invite to be friends with someone I met through a social function (who I barely spoke to) less than a week later.
So, what is a “Facebook friend”? It obviously isn’t only real friends that you see all the time, but there must be a happy medium between that and “friending” every person you work with, go to school with, have a club with, go to church with, met at the grocery store, etc.
After some discussion with the late 20 something to 30 something facebook crowd, I think its:
Someone you know well enough to talk to if you saw them at a larger scale gathering. (large party, bar, etc) If you wouldn’t even wave because you don’t like them, aren’t sure if its them, or if they would recognize you, then they shouldn’t be your facebook friend.
But this is open to discussion…..any thoughts??

Walk off that Superbowl dip - at work!
Want a way to walk off all that Superbowl dip, pizza, lil smokies, wings, etc? Get your boss to spring for a Walkstation, so you can walk while you work.
I saw it today on the local morning show-what a neat idea, huh?? You can see a clip from Good Morning America here and find out more info about it here, so you can get all the ammo you need to convince your boss its a good investment.
