We like you. Now get out the country.

OK, gang. Here I am at Tampa airport. An oompa-band is playing. There's a cake shaped like the Matterhorn. These improbable events have an underlying connection. Edelweiss Airlines is launching a direct flight to Switzerland. Evidently they like my style, because they want me to write about it. To do that, they're putting me on the plane and sending me there -- along with a group of other area scribes and photographers. Thus, in a violation of the laws of probability, I'm here at Tampa airport with a Swiss band and a mountain-shaped cake preparing to zip off to Switzerland for a week. Thanks in advance to Cindy Cockburn and Edelweiss Airlines. Details to come online and in print.
