Happy Thanksgiving

Better late than never I guess. I was lucky enough to celebrate Thanksgiving dinner with the coworkers I was with last year. Not your traditional Thanksgiving dinner; although there were Sweet Potatoes! Instead it had a Spanish influence! Home made Sangria and Paella! Guess it made sense since our hosts were Spanish.

So I guess I just wanted to give "Thanks" to anyone and everyone who still keeps up with this Blog. I know there are loyal readers out there that are pretty good in keeping up with it and others that stop by from time to time to see how I'm doing.

I want to say thanks to all of you. As I've mentioned many times before, this blog is my way of keeping in touch. Granted I don't reveal everything, (that's what email and the phone is for) but I try and share my stupid stories as much as I can. I enjoy writing and I try to keep it interesting and entertaining and do my best not to write "just to write."

With things being so "normal" here these days, its so hard to find that quirky, life revealing, "wow, I can't believe I'm in London" experiences, thus the decline in the number of blog posts.

Perhaps this should drive me to experience more and to avoid this "normalcy." I'm trying my best not to be "stagnant." At the same time, I don't want to try too hard!

A part of me is completely adjusted to life here, yet another part of me is still displaced since I had the friends back home that I share so much history with, something I obviously don't have here. But I'm working on it.

I guess that's what so fun about going home.. is to "refill" that feeling that I miss so much... the banter.. the bonding, the jokes, and all the corniness that comes along with it. I guess I'm still trying to find people that "get me" here, but it hard to compete with people that have known you for almost your whole life....

In any case, for the audience out there, especially back home, that still reads these posts... I'm coming home soon!

Rob,

I know what you mean by the weather.. it doesn't snow here!
And when people think its cold, I consider it mild! 40 deg F here is considered pretty cold!
