OH-IO

The first couple days in Ohio have been noteworthy. First, while we were traveling the Buckeyes decimated 'that team up north.' GO BUCKS!

On Sunday there was a baby shower held for Simone. I hear that it was a lot fun. Our room now looks like a Baby's-r-Us exploded. Gift bags full of clothes. Thank you to everyone.

On a related note, the little one now has a name: Nicholas Thomas. I can quit calling him 'bump.'

The weather is cold and a little rainy (turning to snow at some point) and we are looking forward to seeing everyone at Thanksgiving.

Across the Pond

I just returned from a trip to England for work. Swindon is where Intel's site is which is about an hour east of London. I had never been to London before and was able to do a little exploring with a co-worker (who is originally from England) on Wednesday evening. After the sites we stopped for a few pints and a dinner of bangers and mash at a random pub. Good times.

Buckingham Palace - The Queen Was Home - You Can Tell By The Flag

This is a GIANT Ferris wheel-like thing on the Thames. Huge. I was told that you pay for one loop that takes 20 minutes to complete. It moves around very slowly.

Look kids... Big Ben... Parliament.
