Cricket

I felt it best to try and explain the game of cricket to you all while here in London.

Cricket: As explained to a foreigner...
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the
side that's in goes out, and when he's out he comes in and the next man goes
in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and
the side that's been in goes out and tries to get those coming in, out.
Sometimes you get men still in and not out.
When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and
when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There
are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when
the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men
have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have
been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game

Got it?

Carpe Diem.

I'm off again

I can't sit still for 5 minutes so off I go, again, to London. I will hang out with the Bass gang again and go to the obligatory Footy game. This one will be special as it's Tottenham vs Man U at White Heart Lane (in London). I leave tomorrow (Monday) and Robyn will be joining us this Friday for a rather short weekend London visit. We are both really excited about the game and of course, spending time with the family.

The car was officially declared a "submarine" and consequently, written off. The sport court was repaired so things are mostly back to normal at home!!! Believe it or not, Diana and I are sort of enjoying this almost empty nest. We still have to hang out with Max. Having said that, it's still great seeing the Knoblets (kids) when we can.

Mike came home this weekend. It was good to see him again (even after 1 week). So far, he says school is going just fine. Diana's Laundry service was in full swing today. Even Robyn sent stuff home to be washed. No visit from her this time but I will see her Friday in London for an action packed few days. We will both return to the States on Sunday September 13th.

Carpe Diem.
