Career highlight

Your blogmistress went to London in January.  This was a business trip and the culmination of a 4-year fraud investigation.  I was supposed to testify in criminal court.  Scary!  Before the witnesses began testifying, both parties pled guilty.  WOW.  That was the best week of my 30 year career.   Here is a link to the press coverage:

Meanwhile, I haven't been so far North in January in a long time.  It was dark at 4:30pm, so all of my pix are night shots.  Here is a view of St. Paul's Cathedral - that's where Charles & Diana got married in 1981.  Beauty!

Our office is in the old City of London.  Here is the dragon that guards the edge of the city, complete with a double decker bus going by.

It's good to be home.  Where it's light out until about 6:30 and flowers are blooming in the garden!

It's 2012 - time for more goofy signs

Happy New Year, everyone!  Kids don't like to go back to school after the holidays, but when they do, MAKE SURE THEY PAY ATTENTION.  Otherwise, their grammatical errors will end up as examples on this blog.

Here is our first entry for 2012 - They might be the healthiest donuts ever, because they are bake, not fried. 

Next, I noticed this sign at a pub near our house.  If I can see this error while driving by at 35 mph, why can't Bubba?  He got karaoke right, but the elusive "too cheap" was a lesson he must have missed in school, again and again.
