Week in Review x 3: End of May/Early June

Once again, I've failed to write in a more timely manner. This entry will highlight the end of May through mid-June. There's been a lot going on, a few trips, some going out, new visitors, and others leaving. I'll try to keep it brief.

• In Kansas City, the typical Tuesday night consists of either soccer or the occassional trip to Harpos. In London, when you're not too busy and don't mind a long day at work Wednesday, Tuesday night is perfect for 1 pound pints at Sports Cafe near Picadilly Circus. It's an evil thing entailing nothing special - more or less the London equivalent to Harpo's quarter draws.
• As I pass the three-month mark of my six-month rotation, I'm quickly reminded my time is quickly coming to an end in London. There always seems to be a welcoming or going away party. This week, we had the unfortunate chore of officially sending off one of my best friends in London - Brian Legg. We've had many a good time, a late night, and a tasty kebab. For those of you who aren't familiar, the kebab is God's gift to the world.

• Two weekends ago, a few of us packed our bags for a fun weekend in Edinburgh, Scotland. The weekend consisted of a visit to Edinburgh castle (the coolest castle I've been in), a short hike up Arthur's Seat (~1,000 ft climb), an underground tour of the old city, and two nights of clubbin/pubbin.

• Mom visits!!! The lovely Mrs. Eleanor Raggett with her friend Barb arrives for a two-week stay. It's been almost three months since I've seen my mom. When I told her I was moving over, she was the first one to buy a plane ticket to visit - gotta love her. We went to Salisbury & Stonehenge this past weekend, and will be quite busy over the next week and a half. It's good to have mom around!
