Trains and bad wifi
I'm writing this from a train station in London waiting for my train to Leed's Castle. The wireless @ my hotel has been down the past couple nights. I'll post more pics when i can. So far having a great trip!

And the adventure begins
Well, Regina and I made it to London after a long day of travelling. Our original plane out of Chicago got hit by a luggage cart which was loading our plane's luggage at the time. It punched a whole in the side of the plane (I'll post photos later). Regina and I were lucky enough to have had enough time that the delay didn't really matter much to us. In fact we were offered free plane tickets to the 48 connected states if we took a later flight than most folks travelling. We took the offer and were also upgraded to first class (just the flight to Minnesota), free drinks!.
Once I can get a consistent wifi connection I'll get photos posted.

Leaving the Country....
Regina and I are taking a quick trip over the pond to jolly old England. We will be spending the week in London staying at the Byron Hotel. My plan is to take lots of pictures during the day and post them to my shutterfly account at night (if I can get a free wifi connection). The link to the shutterfly account is on the side labeled Vacation Pictures.
Take care of the good old U. S. of A. while we are gone. And no sneaking in to use my hot tub while we are away....
;)

1-800-GOOG-411 (1-800-466-4411)
Is the 411 business that lucrative? If you ask Regina she would say so. In fact she is so against dialing 411 that it scares me...for real, I think I just peed a little thinking about it.
Who would have thought that 411 would be the next Google target. This totally voice automated service works surprisingly well. There is even an option to send a text message to your cell phone that contains the business name, phone number, and address in which you wanted to look up. I'm sure once this service leaves the Google labs there will be a small advertisement you are forced to listen to. But till then enjoy, it's free!
