My first visit to Wimbledon included a long journey across London, a day on No. 1 Court, strawberries and cream, brilliant tennis, and a few lessons learned for next time.

I’ve missed this
It's been a while, I know. So much for continuing to write despite not being in London. We'll just get past that and start fresh here and now... I've committed myself to writing at least 30 minutes on most days. This is writing for myself, not for work which is something completely different. Don't worry… Continue reading I’ve missed this
Doing Nothing
It’s been another long stretch of me not posting here. Must do better. Actually I have a really good excuse for my absence. For the past couple months I have been working diligently on my dissertation while also working full-time at a job that I originally thought would be temporary but has turned into something… Continue reading Doing Nothing
iPhone 4s….Please Don’t Make Me Say Goodbye
Hey! Have you heard the news? Apple came out with a new iPhone last week! If you haven’t heard I will assume you just returned from a on a remote island with no internet, television, or news. Hope you enjoyed your holiday. For everyone else, so, yeah, there’s a couple new iPhones out. Did you… Continue reading iPhone 4s….Please Don’t Make Me Say Goodbye
Letters
I've been reading a biography of Alan Turning, Alan Turning: The Enigma, written by Andrew Hodges. The Imitation Game comes out in the cinema soon and I want to educate myself a bit before I see the film. It's quite interesting despite Hodges' extensive discussion of mathematics which will probably get even more complicated as… Continue reading Letters
A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to See James Rhodes
I have been excited about this night (10 September 2014) since July. Tonight was the night I was going to go see classical pianist, James Rhodes, live. I bought my ticket as soon as I saw he was touring and was a giddy mess all day today just knowing how wonderful tonight was going to… Continue reading A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to See James Rhodes
Adventures Underground: Getting Around London Without a Car
After moving to London, I quickly decided I would never need—or want—to drive in the city. The Tube made getting around easy, but taking the bus helped me discover everything I had been missing above ground.
WHAT?!? London? I Didn’t See That Coming!
The title of this entry is courtesy of an email I received after telling a friend I had moved. I didn't really see it coming either, but it's true...I live in London. Well, at least for the time being. I want it to be a permanent move but that's not completely up to me. I… Continue reading WHAT?!? London? I Didn’t See That Coming!
It’s Back
I've been kicking around the idea of starting this blog back up for a few weeks now. It's been almost two years since I've bothered to post anything. It's not because I haven't had anything to say. I always have something to say. Things rattle around in my brain constantly...it makes for difficulties sleeping sometimes.A… Continue reading It’s Back
Another Tragedy
Note: I originally hand wrote this post yesterday, December 14, 2012, while everything was fresh. I held it and let it sit with me. There are a few edits just to keep it up to date but it's how I felt as the news was coming in. I debated starting over but, even if it's… Continue reading Another Tragedy
