Once upon a time...

Once upon a time there lived a little girl, who, sitting in the back of Mrs. Munion's 4th grade class wrote a letter (on lavender paper in purple pen no less) to her favorite TV star of the time, Mr. David Hasselhoff, aka Michael Knight of Knight Rider. She said what any self-respecting 9 year old would say 'I think you're sooooo fine' and probably referred to him as Michael Knight instead of David. She may have even asked him to come over and play tetherball with her on the playground.

Fast forward 22 years. The job does have some perks, I guess! :-)


-------------------------------------

Pretty good weekend so far I suppose (although meeting The Hoff on Friday had to be the highlight!). Friday evening was leaving drinks for 2 girls on the team - two of my favorites left the company to bigger and better things, and one really nice English tradition is that practically the whole company turns out to drink and wish them well, even though the company doesn't pay for any of it, which I think says something nice about the people I work with. We're about 75 people and I would say about 50 turned out, which is a really nice thing. You don't just have a couple of drinks and leave - typically the party goes on all night (did I mention there is a bar underneath our office??). Friday's party started at 5:00 and I lasted til about midnight which I thought was pretty respectable. A few pictures below...

Last night was a nice meal with Texan Jason at a place called Gilgamesh in Camden. Amazing atmosphere, and I learned that sushi and champagne make a very nice food-wine paring. Today is a massive day for football. I am now going for a long walk to calm my nerves before it begins...

5 days in counting before I get to see Piccadilly!!!
