Well, the full week continues with Jenny and Angie in London. The last post ended right before we took off for the zoo, so I’ll pick up there.
Wednesday - Went to the zoo at Regents Park. Angie and Jenny are getting very good at navigating London public transport. I think at this point we’ve taken [...]

Being a tourist
August 26th, 2009 · No Comments
My sister Jenny and niece Angie landed in London on Friday to spend a week in the UK exploring the sites. We have already done a lot and still have a ton more to see. It’s been fun doing a bunch of the tourist stuff that we never seem to get motivated to [...]
Sailing School

Sorry about the sparse updates…I’ve had a fairly busy couple of weeks. Hopefully more to come on that later next week.
Sailing school turned out to be good fun. I was with a group of 4 others, Alistair, Helen, Candice and Ferris. Alistair and Helen are married and live about 100 yards from us in Clapham. [...]

Day in Richmond
October 12th, 2008 · 2 Comments
Today started out a little rough. We were woken up around 8:00 by the neighbors’ little girl throwing an absolute tantrum on the floor above us. This isn’t the first time it has happened and for a while, we thought that they were playing basketball up there. Our theory now is that the little girl [...]
