What's new?

Canada is in the midst of an election which I hear very little about...

Liverpool are off to their best start ever in the Premier League...

Canada is officially eliminated from World Cup qualifying...

Raptors are becoming Toronto's team...

I am coming home for a visit in November - 7th - 17th...

Just booked a trip to Las Vegas for Matt's Stag Do in February...

Ryan Baker and Little Kickers Canada in the pipeline for next summer (Juneish)...

What else is new? Well, I have been living in England for 18 months. Where does the time go? I am now a citizen of this fine country. I have visited pretty much every major city in the UK and a number of great places around Europe with Portugal and Sweden amongst my favourites. Made some great friends, many of which are fellow Canadians living abroad. Only after doing something as crazy as moving across the ocean on the spur of a moment can you truly understand what you would have missed had you not! This has been an experience that I will not soon forget.

So the plan of attack now changes... I have about 8 months left in my London tenure. The end is nigh! So what do I need to accomplish before I go? Here is my list:

1) Go to the Den to see Milwall play
2) Finally visit my family on Hayling Island
3) Host my family here in London
4) See one more Liverpool game
5) Friendsmas... A Christmas in London with friends
6) 2 more weekend trips to Europe... Italy is a must
7) Go to Scotland
8) Kick dads butt in squash in England

See you soon Canada
