Happy New Year from the UK
I just met a girl in the bar that asked me if I remembered her. I said yes, she is one of Anne’s little brother’s friends that I met 9 years ago. It is a very small world.

If my Grandparents were still alive I would buy this for them. They loved National Geographic and I can remember looking through the magazines when I was at their house as a small child. I wonder if that is one of the reasons I love traveling the world now. I think I might have to buy it for myself :-)
We are getting ready to leave Cambridge to go back to Woking. We need to take the M25, clockwise or counter clockwise? It is 100 miles and google maps says it will be 3 hours with traffic.
Something so bizare happened to us today. Hollywood would not even write this, or possibly they would. I will type up a post on it later. It is a very very small world.
I am very annoyed that about 20% of the time my Garmin GPS wants to take me the wrong way and gets me slightly lost in the English midlands. It is time for an update of the 3 year old maps, not that it should make a difference.

WatchHDTV: You are riding onboard with me in the eXpansys.com Lotus 2-Eleven as I have a great battle with a few of my friends at Spring Mountain in Southern Nevada during the Lotus Challenge Race. This is a very eventful race with lots of passing back and forth.

This is huge! Seven-times Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher will come out of retirement to race for Mercedes next year, BBC Sport understands.
I hope he does well but I still want Lewis and Jenson to trounce him but 3rd would be ok for him :-)

Money Quote: “Being in the McLaren made me feel like, if Colin Chapman, the Lotus founder, were still alive, I was in a car he would have made.”
I wanted one of these cars as soon as I heard about it but as a Lotus lover the Chapman quote makes me want one even more.
Jay also makes a very good point that I have also made but he is much nicer than I…”Everybody knows...

I think the writer is reading between the lines here but something does need to change at the Chicago Bears. I have been to two games this year and it has been hard work being a die hard Bears fan. This too shall pass…I hope soon…next year can only be better.

Peter Serafinowicz, Simon Pegg’s roommate from Shaun of the Dead was on the plane sitting a couple of seats ahead of us on the flight from LAX to LHR today.
We are in the UK now at Anne’s fathers house in Woking, about 3 miles from McLaren.
Mad Max tries to rewrite history →
Max Mosley was the most powerful man in world motorsport until he stepped down earlier this year. He was viewed as a dictator by most and it seems he may have learned that from his father. You can learn more about Max and his parents here http://bit.ly/8P9xmC
AT&T FAIL
After my 20th failed call in the last two days I went to the AT&T store and let them know how I felt about this. Jeremy told me that they had one of the main towers in my area go down a week ago and the techs are working on it. He then pulled that tower info out of my phone so it would not look for it. I thought that is reasonable, went home and still got failed call after failed call. My...
I have had about 15 failed calls on AT&T over the last couple of days and Anne has had a over 10 also. How had can it be to run a good wireless network? We are paying far too much for this level of service…
