This weekend, we took a boat trip to Greenwich. It’s a lovely way to see London….everyday, I hop on the Tube to get to work. You tend to miss things, like scenery. Occasionally, we get “buskers” entertaining us in the Tube hallways. I remember grooving to a […]
They figured I was exhausted from the body combat class last night….so they took over the kitchen.
So, they whipped up a cous cous salad…
and Spanish-flavored rice,
with a Cabernet mixed in….
I wanted chicken…but the bears refused to cut up another animal. I pointed out that REAL bears hunted and ate fish…but they placed their stubby […]
This is the second Tuesday we went out for another theater production…
We saw: “The Complete History of America - abridged” - with Cub, John and Andrea.
It was entertaining…and I felt relieved it was by three American members of the Reduced Shakespeare Company (”…reducing expectations since 1981″) - at least it didn’t feel like three Brits […]
Louie got jealous of Andre’s adventure…so he got his turn on Saturday…I wish people wouldn’t laugh at me when I’m taking pictures of my bears….maybe they’re laughing with me
So…this is his story…in his own words…
had to shove Andre out of the way….he was eye-ing mommy’s bag again….he’s not the only bear who knows how to […]
thanks to the folks for the sweet words on Andre…for the other sickos who tried to comment…get a life.
Yesterday, at Reuters, the showbiz dude said: “Hey Kris, I have an extra press pass for the Alfie premiere, do you want to go?”
I said yes….
The premiere was at Leicester Square…it was packed with screaming fans and […]
My bear from Berkeley, Andre, got bored staying at home…
So…this is his story…in his own words…
ANDRE CLIMBED INTO MOMMYS BAG….ANDRE DOESN’T LIKE BEING IN THE BAG….ANDRE GETS CRAMPED….
BUT ANDRE LIKES LONDON. MOMMY LOVES ANDRE. MOMMY DOESN’T MIND ANDRE TAGGED ALONG. HERES ANDRE WITH BIG BEN. BIG BEN IS BIG.
HERES ANDRE WITH THE MILLENIUM EYE. LONDON […]
We went to church today…
This is the Westiminister Cathedral. It’s the headquarters for the Roman Catholic Church in London. It’s done up in a byzantine architectural style….it has a really cool alter…I’ll take a picture of that next week…
We went to Chinatown after mass.
We had yummy dim sum…for a prix fixe meal - it came […]

Yesterday, I went out with a Reuters camera crew to cover this story….
This is hard-hitting journalism….ala Dan Rather…or something…
An American Artist piled up 30,000 bananas in Trafalgar Square….this is outside of the National Gallery….he claimed it was art….Reuters and other british broadcasters thought it was news…
He’s done this […]
This is Regent Street…it’s about a block away from our ground floor flat…
We’re a five minute walk away from Picadilly Circus….My dad reminded me we visited this touristy part of town, more than ten years ago…It looks different…I didn’t remember seeing Virgn Record Stores, Burger King, Starbucks, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut around the Eros statue.
Still…we […]
