Blogus Interruptus!

The best laid plans are just an opportunity to fate to step in and show you that you are a fool.  The plan was to complete the 10 lessons from Buenos Aries before leaving for Rome.  A computer crash wiped our my drafts and disrupted my schedule.  This will have to do.  Big thanks to all of you who competed my survey.  The information will help me target my activities and make Ralph Carlson Blog better.  (If you are not on my mailing list and didn’t receive the survey you can sign up here

One thing was clear.  You would like to receive some reports from Rome over the next month and I intend to comply. I can’t promise they will be long  but I will post some pictures and impressions.  I’ll even consider requests.  Is there anything you want to know about Rome?  Put it in the comments and I’ll think about it.

One more thing.  If you completed the survey and responded ‘other’ to any question, please expand on that in a comment.  Leave the question number and the details about your other.  Thanks.  No wonder people who create surveys make so much money.  It’s hard work.
