Over the last of our breakfast coffee, he asked, "So, what's on for today?" "Editing, rewrites. You?" "Working on those two patent applications. The one's current; the other won't pay off for years, but Boston says I need to get the papers filed now." "Fun stuff. What time will you be finished?" "By lunch, actually, I hope. Nothing too complicated. Just...
Working for a large international company has its pros and cons. The opportunity to travel to different places, see unique sights, and experience diverse cultures definitely falls into the "pros" side of the equation. Sometimes the travels are glamorous and exciting, other times they can be better described as dreadful. Dreadful was certainly the first adj...

Every ten chapters or so I will provide a short summary at the start of that episode to bring new readers up to date (see start of Ch. 70). This story...
