Made it over. Traveling around nowKeep up on the progress hereAs of May 3rd 2006, I became a UK Citizen. I had my citizenship ceremony at the Wrigley Building in Chicago. Living in England, or somewhere in Europe, will has become a reality. I'm all set up so that I'll be a football referee in Scotland.Found a job in Megeve, France starting in December until the end of April. That will keep me alive for a while longer until I find the next job.Here's the planned itinary:IrelandDublin (9Sept-12Sept)ScotlandGlasgowKilwinning (12Sept-16Sept) - Visit Family Cousins (mom and grandpa born here)EnglandLongtown (16Sept-20Sept) - grandma born hereManchester (20Sept-22Sept) - Visit Lisa AnnaBirmingham (23Sept-27Sept) - Visit up with HarrietLondon (27Sept-6Oct) - Meet up with CharlieItalyMilan,Venice,Florence,Pisa (6Oct-9Oct)Pescantina (9Oct-16Oct)Sirmione (16Oct-19Oct)SloveniaLjubljana (19Oct-20Oct)AustriaVienna (20Oct-24Oct)SlovakiaBratislava (24Oct-27Oct)Czech RepublicBrno (27Oct-29Oct)Prague (29Oct-4Nov)GermanyLeipzig (4Nov-6Nov)I'm constantly involved in multiple football(soccer) and volleyball leagues, out cycling, running, so be prepared to keep up with me in one...if not all! Being so active in a lot of sports and always pushing myself as hard as I can it tends lend itself to a steady flow of injuries here and there. Every time I visit with friends they are in awe that I've survived the latest challenge with death. I've taken up a thing for cooking in the last few months and have been strongly encouraged my my roommates to start taking culinary classes. I think they're just looking for a free meal when I open up the restaurant. My taste for wine and cigars I think has lent itself well to the whole culinary endeavor I'm embarking on. We'll see how it pans out.
