Things I miss: My granddaughter (Oh, and I guess her parents, sort of), Taco Bell, my car, American Coke (British Coke is just not the same), my very own bathroom, my mattress, A&E, national newscasts that last longer than 15 minutes, my car, my dishwasher/washing machine/dryer, “Battlestar Gallactica,” Char and Liz (BFFs), my closet (What was I THINKING when I packed for this adventure?), American prices, my CAR, being involved in the upcoming wedding plans, living in more than two rooms, lawns, silence, central air conditioning.
Things I don’t miss: Telephones, people at work calling/e-mailing me and yelling at me because I haven’t made all their dreams come true, the construction on 800 North by our house, obnoxious television commercials (the Brits don’t have it down to an art form like we do), snail mail (all those catalogs!), freeways, certain individuals (but not that many).

jeeze, when I worked at BBC News, our evening casts were half an hour. Guess they’ve gotten terser.

Reading about your London fun, having the ability to wander around for weeks is making me horribly jealous! But I still love hearing about it!
