As I sit here in my tent by myself in the Himalayan mountain range, I am overjoyed that my laptop has wireless internet access. I am certain I am stealing this connection from one of the crew members filming us. Since we have been on this race, I have missed a few of my favorite shows (I admit it! I am addicted to "The Gauntlet 2" on mtv...) I need to check a few websites to keep up to date. In reality though....I am talking about mtv...They do have the habit of showing CONSTANT re-runs over the weekend....

Normally I would have some company in my tent, but I am lead to believe my teammate has quit the race. Hopefully this wont affect my standing in the race. Although...Jean has already promised me her first born daughter...such a sweet gesture...

I have also been checking up on Nova Roma's current state while I have been away. I left my people with one single task while I was absent...that my gold plated jacuzzi be installed by the time I return. I have come to find out that the ship date was postponed two business days...HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BATHE WITHOUT A GOLD PLATED JACUZZI!!!! It looks I will have to put in some overtime when I return home...someone is going to have to be sacrificed to appease me...
