The eagle has landed!

Well I have arrived!! I caught an early flight to Chicago and my flight to Manchester arrived an hour (yes an HOUR) early! Frank picked me up an we spent the day catching up and figuring out the weekend. I was hoping to get a new iPhone but complications with iTunes and my not having a UK-based credit card made that not possible at the moment. SO I got a simple pay-as-you-go that makes me long for a new iPhone. C'est la vie!

I will probably be at the University tomorrow, meeting the students in the weekend program I will be administering. Nothing like hitting the ground running! I also hope to start looking for a place to live.

Stay in touch all...either here or by email. Thanks again for all your support!

Best

Robert

Hi Robert! I wanted to be the first (do I win anything?) to say "Whoo hoo!" and good luck in this new transition! Someday, somewhere, and soon (I hope) our paths will cross again, my friend! Happy adjustment period! -Brenda Nicodemus

Hi handsome one. Sad that you are so far away, but will be wanting to hear about all your exploits (even the ones you don't dare put here). It'll be nice to keep in touch, but will miss you on spring Saturdays when I want to be lunching in the North End.
Hope the start is smooth and at least manageable stress-wise. Soon.... Dave

Enjoy, relax, be at peace.

No, I'm not saying that living in England is like being dead!

Just want you to tell me someday that you aren't worried about anything and that you're living in the moment.

Hey Robert,
Great to read you landed safely and smoothly AND you're ready to go - feeling rested. Not to worry, the jet lag will strike at any moment if not already. LOL

ENJOY my friend! Keep us all in the moment with your escapades. (even the exploits you care to share).

Missing snow and cold? Happy to box some up and send from Rochester. LOL

Love ya, Marilyn Mitchell
