Texans in London?

Ah yes, never would have thought that I'd fall in with a bunch of Republican Texans in London. But this weekend I went to Regent's Park (see British Softball) and met up with a bunch of American Expats for a few games of softball and lots of beer. Just like old times. Thankfully, everyone knew how to play, so there was no more of this crazy British confusion. Here's pictures of me at bat and scoring (I guess whoever what taking photos liked me):





And no, I'm not skipping. Just running and they got me at a weird point in my stride. Actually, every point in my stride is weird. Anyway, I had a great day at the plate actually. First pitch...bang! Home run baby. Take that Texans! Second at bat...bang! Single up the middle. Ok, well not so much bang there, but a solid hit. Third a bat, last inning, we are up by a few runs, bases loaded....bang! Cracked one into the outfield. If they weren't playing me WAY out there, it would have been a grand slam. So, of course, my team won the tournamant.

Ok, enough of that. Was pretty neato actually because the people there were really nice and it was cool to be out there playing softball for real. AND I'm chatting with these guys (one of them is in the 2nd pic with his hands up in the foreground) and it turns out that they went to Princeton with my brother Mike. Crazy. They laughed because Mike beat them in some big beirut tournament and then I get here and beat them in softball. Don't mess with the Storms boys! So this group gets together fairly frequently and plays football (the real kind) almost every Saturday and also does stuff like Halloween parties and ski trips. Nice to have some Americans to kick around with when I want to. Here's everyone...play Where's Dan?

Also, I have to show you this picture of Liz's new dog Chanel (like the perfume...apparently that was her name when she got her). I want one!
