London lately....Or....Maybe I look like him

Remember the Rocky & Bullwinkle TV show? They used to have two titles for every show. It would be like, "Rocky takes a nose dive......oooooooooorrrrrrrrr......Potato is the new black." And the second one would never make sense. I always swore that I would write it down and try to figure out through the show if it did make sense (maybe potato WAS the new black somehow), but then I'd get excited for the show and forget all about the titles. So I think sometimes I'll throw in two titles just for fun. But they will usually make sense.

ANYWAY, as you've probably guessed, things have slowed down a bit for me. After the recent spree of travel, I've been able to catch up with some friends here and generally get back to enjoying life in London. It's fun though because now I've actually got things to do rather than being the perma-tourist that I was for the first 2 months. So for the next few posts I'll try to tell you about things that have been happening here and help you to get to know life in London. So, for example, I'll take you on a tour of Balham (my neighbourhood), introduce you to the lady who cuts my hair, tell you a bit about my offices (more than one?), and anything else that strikes my fancy.

This weekend I had the joy of heading into Hyde Park (where I saw Live 8) to play American football with the Texans. Cool! I was a bit rusty in the beginning, but was able to make a few good catches, an interception, and a touchdown. Take that Texans! Unfortunately, my knee isn't quite back to 100%, so I'll have to really get back to working on that so I'm ready for skiing. Did I tell you I'm going to Ischgl, Austria, on Dec 1?

Well, did you remember the 2nd title of this blog post? This is the part where I finally tell you the reason for that (I'm sure you were on the edge of your seat). Liz and Melissa think I look more like Doug (on the right) from the Doug TV show:



What do you think?



Cheers!
