Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I know that I said I would be writing in the blog more often! Blame Liz (for no particular reason, just don't blame me). Really, I was just quite busy at work this week. I had no motivation to come home and write; and, there was really not that much interesting going on!

Things are settling in here. Liz and I have managed to transition nicely into the London way of life. Convenience has really enabled us to live the way we want to. Three minutes walking from our front door is mostly everything we need, specifically a full grocery store and a full gym. Because of the convenience, Liz and I have been able to switch from our New Yorkish way of life (having to drive everywhere and eating out four nights a week) to a new chapter. We have both been going to the gym regularly and last week we ate at home every night! It is amazing what you can do when you have a nice new full kitchen and a grocery store around the corner! I know what you are all thinking: I didn't realize Liz was a master chef? Well, she is not, and never claimed to be! But, she did take it upon herself to cook alone one night which came out great. The other nights we are making it a team effort. It's a good way to spend some time!

Beyond that, life has been pretty normal here. I know, you all expect my London experience to be outrageous every day. Well, the fact of the matter is that I am here to work, and that takes up most of my time. The work and the people were all new and different a couple of months ago. Now, I have settled and am used to the work and the accents. Now it is about spending my time working hard, getting ready to open this beast of a company!

One big point of note should be that I have officially chosen my English Football team to support. After two months of understanding, researching, and lobbying from current team supporters, I have chosen to stick with the team that I have been loyal to for the last ten years. The winner, Arsenal. That is going to be all I say about that for now. There were many deciding factors that went into this decision that I will go into at length if requested, but not right now. If I do, I will get a bunch of crazy American ranters about how soccer is not a sport and this and that. I can fight that battle one on one! HAHA!

I also wanted to congratulate Ireland on winning the Grand Slam in the Six Nations Rugby Tournament! Not that I care, I just find it my duty to inform all of my readers. It is a big deal here - and absolutely no deal in the US. If anything, I thought I would give my "Irish-American" readers something to celebrate (Irish celebration = getting excessively drunk and starting fist fights with their siblings and/or parents). So, enjoy.

That is about all for now. It is about 9:00 on Sunday AM and Liz and I are off to explore this old city. It is the seventh straight day of sun and mid 50's and we are going to take advantage of it! We are off to hit one on London's famous street markets and then we shall see. Maybe the Thames, maybe a museum. I am going to get all the culture I can handle! An maybe, just maybe, there may be some fresh pictures for all of you to peruse......

Take care!
