Cheerio!

Welcome to Cheery Old London

Or as my seat neighbor on the plane called it 'Dreary' old London. I think
I gotta go with that. May be a great day to forgo pictures and just get
some sleep.

Big Day? You Betcha!

Not to say Tuesday was a historic day or anything but both O'hare & JFK
were completely sold out of all newspapers. I managed to get one of the
last few USA Todays thank goodness.

Then when I landed in the UK the counter person where I purchased my
shuttle ticket saw I was American and started talking excitedly about
Obama. He wants the first thing Obama to do is go to Iraq & apologize for
the huge mistake. Not a bad idea. Then going into the newsstand every paper
had Obama plastered on the front and hailing the day America 'Turned the
Page', 'Made History', and so on.

Then I saw this man in the airport. I didn't capture it in the photo, but
he was not American but he had an Obama button on his lapel. Amazing!

Honestly, for the first time in many, many years I am proud to say I am an
American when I am overseas.

Game Time!

A cool 56 degrees under a blue-grey sky. It is time for some Notre Dame
football!
