In 1974 I went on a BYU Semester Abroad to London, and it changed my life. I made friendships that have lasted to this day, and I came home understanding that the world is a REALLY BIG place. Since then I spend a bit of every day in London in my head. Seriously. I think of my doppelganger often, wondering what she's up to. Riding the tube? Eating a curry? Visiting Old Bailey to catch a glimpse of grown men wearing wigs?
On Monday our third son is taking off for London for a BYU summer abroad, and it's a sweet moment for me. London is a great town for young people. He's gonna love it.
The wrist is SORE people. I overdid at the conference last week and I feel like I've pulled a thing or two, in addition to the break. BUT! FORTUNATELY! There's always good food to be had and that eases the pain. Had spinach/fontina soup at The Tin Angel today and felt happy to be alive.

That soup sounds good. I love London. I wish your wrist were automatically better, starting yesterday.
So sorry about your wrist. Some people should really stop sending you emails and let you rest. :)
Summer abroad sounds fun, especially without the school part.
Don't watch the movie "Taken".
Do watch "Taken." You need more to worry about.
Damn the wrist.
Ah, London. I was on hormone injections there during the worst heat wave of the century. (nostalgia. ;-)
I'm headed to the UK in a few minutes, actually. I'll tell it hello for you.
I'm also a BYU London Study Abroad alum. Hooray for Palace Court! Changed my life, too.
p.s. I think my uncle (David Paxman) might be the faculty director of this session. Or at least one coming up...Now that's a plum assignment.
