Large print

Question: What does it say when I have to use the "large print" London tube map?

Answer:  I think I know and I don't like the answer.

a few not not alot

Olympic ticket updates...although I applied for £1800 of Olympic tickets through the online lottery system, I cane up almost empty.  Actually, I received 2 tickets for an early round of gymanstics; in other words, about £80 worth of tickets.

No one I have met has fared much better.  In all but one other case, no one I know that applied for tickets received any...zero...nada...nothing.  Guess I should be happy I landed got the tickets I did.

That said, within less than 4 hours of notification of my mostly unsuccessful ticket ballot attempt, I was offered another set of gymnastics and a pair of men's volleyball set of tickets, increasing my total London 2012 Olympics ticket tally to three events.

Clearly the friends and family approach is a better route...let you know how I fare in round 2 which commences tomorrow.

Ginger, had more than 9 lives...she had at least double that.  Her warrior spirit kept going as each new health issue arose; she was a bit like that Energizer Bunny.  She just kept on ticking.

After 18 years however, the little body just gave out.  Rest in peace, "Sweet Kitty"!

































Yea, that little yellow kitty liked to sleep!
