To marginally crib Jimmy Buffett....
I am saying good morning and good night from the United Kingdom! I am on a work project that has taken me to that far off and exotic land of Manchester, UK. It rains a lot here. They drive on the wrong side of the road and things are soooo compact. Cars, roads, buildings, you name it, its shrunk to about 7/8th scale. The folks are nice and I have had some of the best Indian food ever. Flying from LAX is sooooooo far... More updates later! |

I'd tell you to keep a stiff upper lip but you do that naturally. You do know why the Brits call us Yanks; Right?
 Now, off you go. See if you can find some bangers and mash. |

Hmmm - curry. That's what I miss the most! You can keep Manchester, famous only for its football team and the band Oasis. If you get the opportunity, take a ride up to the lake district - it rains even more there but the scenery is stunning! |

I am heading down towards London (Great Dunmow, to be exact) on Friday night. My Aunt lives there and I will be visiting her and a number of cousins.
She is quite elderly and has dimentia... It will be the last time I see her, I quite honestly suspect. Oh, it rained again. |

ok, Kevin... if that is your best attempt at trashing the place... you need to try harder.
It's raining again. |

I will be heading out tomorrow morning! I have a flight that leaves Manchester at 0815, stops in London, then on to LAX. I expect to arrive at LAX at 1415, give or take a bit. Either way, the journey is about over.
See you all tomorrow afternoon! |

I've never been to Britain, but it's nice to meet people from there. It gives me a chance to brush-up on my English.
