At Athens airport

Two Cypriot ladies are sitting at Gate 7 of the Eleftherios Venizelos Airport in Athens waiting for the flight back to Cyprus.

Sitting right next to them I couldn't help but hear about their childhood, about their work, their shoes, their origins, their daughters, the gossip about their neighbors, how they spent their time in Athens, their knowledge about flights, their complaining about their purses and anything else you can imagine.

After 5 minutes their husbands, get up from their chairs and start wandering in the gate. The dialogue that follows:

Lady1: "Ouff, my husband can't sit in one place. He has to go somewhere all the time"

Lady2: "I know, my husband does the same. He has to be doing something all the time. It makes me mad. They can't sit for 5 minutes"

HELLO LADIES. Have you ever thought that your husbands are just trying to get away from your non-stop talking??????

Now what?

I lost the count of beers, cappuccinos, amount of sleep and money I spent while we were in Budapest.

But who really cares? This was one of my favorite times ever. Spending four days with some of my best friends, drinking, laughing, dancing, gambling, eating, having fun.

Too bad strikes in Hungary are not nearly as common as in Greece. Then I could have hoped for a pilot strike that would leave us in Budapest for a few more days. I am not sure if I could have made it. My body is still recovering 2 days later from what I have done to it.

And now what? Let's see..2 weddings, a trip to Greece, and summer time. Not bad at all.

At least we have at least 3 more bachelor parties to look forward too.

Dilemmas

James Patterson's writing cannot catch up with my reading. I have already finished the 35th book of the writer and I just can't stop. Once you think you know the way he writes and what will happen, by the end of the book you are pleasantly surprised.

I have to admit that the last purchase was a random one. I was on my way to Brussels and was killing some time at the Cyprus Airport when "The Sail" caught my attention. I tried to quickly go through the list of the 34 books to make sure that I haven't read it before, I read the first page and once I was sure, I bought it. It didn't take me much to finish it. A few hours on the plane and a few hours before sleep.

And now I want a book! Something to keep me busy on times of boredom. Resident Evil on the Wii does that but only for a short amount of time. So, I decided that I am going for a new book! One of those days I am going to take my car and go to Larnaca to my favorite bookstore Bibliocosmos and I will get one. The problem is that I am not sure what I want. I am between a Cyprus history book and a business book. To be specific I am between Makarios Drousiotis book "Cyprus 1974 - The Greek coup and the Turkish invasion" and Moore's book "Crossing the Chasm"

History or Marketing? Or both? You will find out soon!
