The British don’t use bars of soap. They use shower gel.
Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, and Gloria Estefan are ubiquitous. Surprisingly, James Blunt is not.
If someone tells you it might “chuck buckets,” bring an umbrella.
When crossing the street, look right, look left, look up, and look down. Because, as an American, you’re never quite sure from which direction the traffic is coming.
Advice from a British motorist: “If it feels wrong, then you’re doing it right.”
The British generally do not wear t-shirts with writing. Americans do. Only Americans. So when dining in a nice restaurant, do not wear your Moss Mountain Project t-shirt.
hey, maybe you’ll sell a few cds to the brits after they finish laughing at your attire!
lucy misses you both dreadfully, although she does seem to enjoy sleeping on the couch as i work on the laptop. skylar LOVES having her around. as for rocky, well, we’ll work on that.
Reading these entries is very exciting–Peggy says that hearing about so much creative and innovative thinking regarding energy gives her hope for the planet. Maybe some equally brilliant minds are working on solutions to save the honey bee?
I rarely wear printed t-shirts (of which I have many) anymore, I guess that proves how fashion-forward I’ve become, eh? And when you get home you’d better have a talk with Lucy before visiting us–no dogs allowed on the new couch!
Was there any debate on the use of ethanol at your conference? Seems to be a hot topic these days. That’s also interesting about the wood burning; doesn’t half of Maine heat their house that way??? Finally, USM also uses the geothermal energy–one of the buildings right down the street from King uses it.
Is the driving getting any easier??? Might get too easy and you’ll feel like you’re doing it right and then you’re really in trouble.
