This is the home of occassional rantings of an American expat who has moved to the United Kingdom. "It may be that the gulfs will wash us down; It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles, And though we are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are made weak by time and fate, but strong in will; To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." lyrics of Ulysses by Alfred Lord Tennyson

Happy Birthday, Brian!
On Tuesday, it was my nephew's, Brian, birthday. He turned 11. He has always been big into puzzles and games. Sad thing is I haven't been able to beat him since he was nine. This fact is usually followed by a taunting statement, "Aren't you ashamed that you've been beaten by a 9/10/11 year-old, Aunt Teri?" We share a love of the St. Louis Cardinals [what Looney doesn't] and we are definitely NOT happy about the Cardinals trading our favorite player, David Eckstein. Happy Birthday, Brian. Good to talk to you the other night. Stay warm in the snow!
