Back To Blogging After The Brief Intermission

While mick & PJ are off having fun with the Brits, I have decided to have my own fun this weekend by driving the scooter up to Skokie Lagoons in Skokie, IL.  I bought a scooter earlier this month and absolutely LOVE it.  Everyone needs to have one and we wouldn’t be in such a gas crisis right now with all those gas guzzlers out there, right PJ?  80 to 100 miles on 1.5 gallons of gas @ about $6 for premium; you definitely can’t go wrong with that!  It’s been a long few weeks for me being busy with ICFF, a trip to San Francisco for my actual job, and finally taking care of things at home.  So, I have decided I need a break and this is how I will spend it.  I will let the pics say the rest...I am now ONE with nature (and back to blogging)!

The new neighborhood

Well we arrived in London and have spent most of the past day in one of two activities… sleeping or exploring our new neighborhood. It’s a interesting experience to drop into a new life and place to call home for an extended period of time… so I’ll try to share some of that experience here as we make it thru the next month in London.

it’s always fun to find something unique and in this case the “Bridge of Aspiration” is just that… steps from our front door this beautiful piece of modern architecture links the classic structures of Royal Opera House on the left to the Royal Ballet across the street.
