Has It Been Two Weeks??

I guess it has been a while again.

Not a lot has been going on over the last couple of weeks. Work has been really busy and time has been flying by. It is amazing that I have been here for over three months already! Before we know it, a year will have gone by at this rate.

The job has been going well. I am learning a whole new side of the business that will help me immensely in the future. I am still trying to cope with the Monday through Friday deal and waking up early every morning. It is quite interesting trying to be functional at eight in the morning. I know that sounds pretty bad, but remember, I have spent the last 1o years working late into the night! I have managed to get into it though. Soon enough I will be back on the road working the late nights!

As for home, Liz and I have been settling in really well! Her initial time here has passed now so there is a bit of normalcy setting in, which is good for the both of us.

We had a blast last Saturday when we went and saw Metallica live at the O2 Arena. For those who don't know, Liz and I are both huge and long standing Metallica fans (it's a classic rock band for those of you sadly out of touch!). Getting the opportunity to see them in Europe was definitely a memorable moment! The venue is awesome, truly world class! I look forward to seeing some more bands there in the future. Our next big scheduled concert to see is in August - U2 live at Wembley Stadium - yet another world class act at a world class venue! Should be great!

This weekend was another solid one.

We went out with some friends last night to a rock club. It was one of those cool clubs that are half bar, half live music; full of wanna-be rock bands. You just have to remember that this is where all bands start. So, when the first band you see has the youngest member clocking in at about 55, you have to move on swiftly. Then, when the second band comes in and they lead singer starts by reading lines off of a piece of paper, you hope for the best. Once you make it through those painful moments, there should be some quality music, which we ultimately did see last night.

Today we went to the final English shopping haven, Selfridges and Company. It is just like Herrods.....but less touristy.....where people actually shop for this expensive stuff. It was quite impressive! You can buy a bulletproof car there (if that's what your into). We also walked past a $15000 cell phone; excess is the best. It was all good though. It was a hell of a store!

That is about it for now. Easter weekend is coming next weekend. Government says we get four days off, so we shall see what that brings. Maybe we will go out about somewhere....then you will get some fresh reading!

Take care!

Oh yeah....

How could I forget....Tiger taking care of business last weekend was outstanding! He is the man, the myth, the legend! I am STOKED to watch the Masters this weekend! There would be nothing better than a Tiger victory!

What happened to UConn Lou?
