Countdown
Only seven working days until school is out for the Winter Break. Just don't mention the month that most colleges have for vacation, as we are only closed from the 24th to the 1st. I go back to work on the second.
Derrick and I are going to London for the holidays. When he and I took our trip to Canada over the summer, I had concerns about traveling for extended periods of time with one person. However, he's really fun to travel with, and I know we'll have a great time. I used to live there, we'll visit friends and family, and nothing satisfies me more than a British breakfast with blood sausages.
The exchange rate really frustrates me, by the way. Nothing like having my dollar exchange at the weakest rate since the fall of the Roman empire. My cup of coffee is 6 dollars US? Woohoo!

I'll be in England from Jan 4 thru 11 and the exchange rate keeps getting worse. I'm taking a thing of peanut butter along just in case.

And I can only imagine what sort of Thing Homer carries peanut butter in.

A big orange rock-covered travelling companion named Ben.

It was great seeing you and Derrick (who's a doll, btw) on Saturday. Have a wonderful time in London!
