Dear Friends,

Natalie and I leave for Rome tomorrow morning at 5AM. I don't have my computer right now which contains most of your addresses, so if you respond with your address I will do my very best to send you a postcard.  At the very least I will down an espresso in your name.

Your BFF,

Noah

It's these subtle differences between the US and the UK that I so enjoy discovering.  For example, whereas in the US, one might enjoy an occasional drive-by (Ouch!),  ( Read more... )

Do you think that the Pope will eventually die?

Last night on the bus, on the top deck, two assholes got on, were making a lot of noise, and went to sit all the way in the back. It was a fairly crowded bus. Natalie and I were sitting all the way up front and didn't really think much of it, but they were being persistent in their obnoxiousness.
