Thought I’d post a few pictures of our new abode. We absolutely love it and just had our first guests over for a Sunday BBQ!

This weekend could have been incredible.  The weather was beautiful, I’m not on a project and I should be hanging out with a cold beer in the park.  Unfortunately I was pulled onto a proposal last week that kept me in the office most evenings this week.  The proposal is due on Monday and there [...]

One of the things that I’ve come to miss living over here is college sports, specifically the big events such as the Bowl Games and March Madness.  It’s not that I couldn’t see them if I really wanted to, but they’re on very late/early, the quality of broadcast isn’t great, and there is not the [...]

Melisse and I are done with Clapham.  The place is nice, the train access is good, the parks are beautiful, but the fact that we don’t have a kid hanging off each arm prevents us from really fitting into the neighborhood scene.  Unfortunately we still have about 4 or 5 months left on the lease [...]

I looked out the kitchen window a few days ago and saw that the once dormant vines that grows along our fence had produced a number of bright green buds signaling the coming of spring.  Melisse and I later witnessed tulips poking up through the ground near one of the trails that we run on [...]

Our final week back in the states was “brilliant” as they say over here.  We’d like to send thanks to Shannon for hosting a wonderful send off at her place, Maggie, HJ and brother Jim for putting us up for the week and everyone else that stopped by, met us for drinks, had us over [...]

So we arrived in London almost a week ago.  We spent the first few days getting over the jet lag, or maybe we were just recovering from a solid month on the road.  We couldn’t view properties on Monday because apparently it takes a day to set up properties to view and if you do [...]

I should have done a full posting on each of these locations as Melisse and I had a great time traveling across the US and visiting with friends and family before we left.  Unfortunately, I haven’t kept up on things so here is the abridged version of the past month…
Melisse’s last day of work was [...]
