    Well after being over here in the UK for 3 days (not London but a much quiter town named Milton Keynes) I finally got a decent enough internet connection with my international aircard (AT&T piece of crap!) to check emails and OI. Had to travel over here last minute for work and had no time for relaxation or play either!

    It figures too that just as my body is getting adjusted to the time change I am coming home the next day :bang: So I think I need to head out to one of the local watering holes near my hotel and see if I can get myself a pint or two (maybe 3 or 4)

    Cheers!

    P.S. Hope my wife took care of the 'kids for me :confused:

    I haven't been to England in 8 or 10 years, but I do recall having to wait impatiently for my beer to be delivered. What with the way they pour it with a huge head of foam, wait for it to subside, top it off, wait, top, wait wait wait. You may as well order 2 at once!

    Enjoy your 5 or 6 pints! Cheers!

    Some of my favorite classical music composed by Samuel Wesley in the early 19th c. is performed brilliantly by the Milton Keynes Chamber Orchestra. Check 'em out while you're there!

    No time to do any sightseeing unfortunately :(

    Now I am stuck in the Heathrow airport for at least 3 more hours as my flight to Philly is delayed at least that much!

    ended up being 5+ hours but I made it home finally last night.

    It was delayed because the plan was late leaving Philly by 5 hours and we had to wait for it to land so it could return to Philly!

    Alexis/MJ - Sorry no shopping for me because the UK is freakin' expensive!
    Brant - LOL...I already have the DC keychain as my sister in-law lives in DC too :)
