So we moved a few things over to the new flat today. Then Jen decided it was not clean enough and move in was put on hold. We will be staying with Isabelle for a few more days until Jen feels the place is up to code. Personally I have no idea what Jen is talking about as the place is just fine. Just watch the video and see for yourself!

Additionally, I think I figured out why Jen was walking so many miles over the last month, she was …

so here is the deal. If you ever wanted to know, the 4th of July is a very dead time at the airport. Of course a skilled traveler such as myself has a keen sense for picking the one flight that gets delayed. That would be fine since usually when we go international jenny and I have 2-3 hour layovers and these delays make the time go fast. Luckily on this flight I was able to score a follow up flight that only left 55 minutes after this one lands. …

That’s right, I FINALLY got Comet to fetch a tennis ball in the pool. That was a MAJOR accomplishment.

Well, now that the cat is out of the bag, and you all know my secret 4th of July shame, I figured I could use this board to advertise my side business! Let me know if you need to hire an Uncle Sam on stilts for your next event! I am available on weekends and major holidays! Now put yo hands up!

So I got an email from the Visa office today. My Visa is ready and on the way. It should be here tomorrow. That’s it. That is the final piece. Then it is scheduling a flight and going to London, packing up and going. It is finally getting real to me, and when I have that passport back in hand tomorrow with a nice embossed foil work Visa, it will be go time. I know Jen will be happy to read this, but probably stunned that it only took a …

Part of the process of moving to London is that I won’t be able to bring my desktop and large monitor. That is over 60 pounds of machinery that is now down to about 6.2. It will take a little getting used to not having the screen real estate and power, but I liken it to our move. We’re shedding square footage, a majority of our closets, iphones, cars and a lot of other items. Either way the distinct advantage of its portability should come in handy as we traipse …

Man am I clever! Anyway, as you may have guessed from my clever title, I sold the Honda Fit, and although Syed drove a hard bargin, at the end of the day, we had a great chat about religion, business, politics and why America is still the best country in the world. Money aside, this guy was so pro America he made me feel like I was taking the USA for granted. If that is the case, I’m sure I will be blogging all about it soon enough.

Jen and the …

My Grandma Dana died a few months ago. She had a good long life, and it was the right time for her to go, but still sad. Michael and I had recently returned from a trip to Spain, and we were both at death’s door ourselves. I was coughing up blood from tearing my lung (from excessive and uncontrollable coughing), and Michael had pneumonia. It was awful, and I have literally never been so sick in my life. Of course this is all leading up to the fact that I …

The British are OBSESSED with the possibility of fire in a building. Obsessed! There are fire drills, fire warnings, and fire doors (oh so many fire doors). I went to a training session in Sheffield yesterday, and prior to the start of the meeting, we had to do a little fire safety review. You would think they had some kind of big fire here sometime in the past or something.
I went for the training with my colleague, Mark Russell, not to be confused with my other colleague, also named Mark …
