  Goodbye Sadie Koppelberger! Hasn't a whole year of life sped by with wings! Over three hundred and sixty five days sifted through our fingers.

  Goodbye for a little while Kopel. Back in Florida, back in the U.S. and A.

  So I am all alone in our big gorgeous flat. I am to host a lunch party for my friends from church on Sunday, and I still don't know what to make. My mother always made wonderful, gourmet dishes, with variety, distinction and all host of flavours. Even so, I have a feeling that these people will like more carb-based lunches. That is one thing I don't prefer about Scotland--the expectations of diet and cuisine.

  I work each day at the hotel, and find myself very tired. There is barely time to get on with the other things in life. To chose a career, a life, in hospitality is a decision I could never make and keep physically.

  Scary Croatian ship captain asked me out for drinks and lunch and dinner last night, and came back for dinner tonight, but I kept busy with other tables. I always see groups come in for dinner on their company, and wonder just how companies can afford these lavish, three course dinners with wine for their employees. That seems like some overhead that could be used other ways.

  I consistently work ten hour days with only one half hour break. My legs can't do this much longer, so today I stole into locker room and sat with my legs up for ten minutes. My strength was revived.

  I struggle and struggle to retain my identification as an academic. My brain is dulled, and in the rush and hectic pace of this place I while away the hours, I lose sight of my own subtley and thoughtfulness.

  Anyway, I shall miss Sadie!!!!!
