Hello there,

By way of introduction, I am shitty at doing stuff in any sort of a timely fashion. When my family and I moved to London, I thought, “Self”… I often talk to myself in the third person, like a crazy person or a character from a Judy Blume novel, “Self, now is a great time to start that blog you’ve talking about writing for the last 5 years.” My next thought was, “Wait are blogs still a thing? Or is this like the time you finally resolved to buy that laser disc player only to discover upon walking into Best Buy that Laser Disc players only existed ironically at that point”. After some research on the world wide web (you really can find anything on there) blogs are still a thing. What a time to be alive.

But back to the procrastination. We moved to London from New York about 9 months ago and in that time I have seen and done many things. Moved into a semi-affordable “flat”, learned I have an appreciation for but no understanding of non-American football, eaten and drank stuff, watched some comically bad television (gardening is actual show here), and started to say “mate” with a disturbing frequency. But one thing I have absolutely not done is start a blog.. So here goes.

As I have been here for 9 months already, I am well behind on writing about our European Vacation and the ensuing hi-jinx (I’ve always wanted to write that word) so the first few posts will serve to catch up to real time. Just like a really slow, somewhat awkward time machine, lazily moving towards present day. I like to imagine the Back to the Future Delorean but as a recumbent bicycle. It is very hard to look cool on a recumbent bicycle.

Anyway, starting the blog….now.
