You asked for it...


And, by "you" I mean whoever reads this. Not a lot of folks, I imagine. But, here's me and what I've been doing for the past 5 months. I'm taking three weeks off the cycle to be a tour guide in London. Sorta like a chaperone type thing. I'm excited and scared. I'll write about how it went. Its for 8 days at the end of March. That's me in East London, a class place where you need to watch out for the multi-colored phlegm and trash and gangs on the streets everywhere.

So, how is Obama beating Hillary? How can this be? I've been confused and let down by the American people before (how does Clay Aiken still have legions of fans? How does New York have the same representatives in the Senate as Iowa or Nebraska?) but, I just don't understand him and his lame-ness. Why does it seem like we all want to be lyed to? Is that all people want in the end? As I get older, I feel like I get dumber and have more and more questions...

So, sandwich sales have been good. I have some spending money but all I can think to spend it on is booze, so unoriginal. I like London more and more. Its got that same addictive-ness that NYC has. You don't want to stay but can't leave.

And yet, I've been sick three times and the last time was for like 3 weeks. I know that my job: being outside, coming into contact with a hundred people and their diseases every day, inhaling huge amounts of petrol fumes cannot help my general health, But JEEZ! The flu that I caught was so high-powered it made me think I had TB. I'm not even kidding. That's sicker than I've been in maybe 4 or 5 years. London is Plague Central. At least for this half-jew Yorker with a penchant for drink and fast cycling.

Keep on reading, Frank and maybe Laura?
