The Road is Life

Hittin' the Road

So I leave tomorrow for London.

Let me explain exactly what I’ll be doing in the UK:

“The Rotary Foundation’s Group Study Exchange (GSE) program is a unique cultural and vocational exchange opportunity for businesspeople and professionals between the ages of 25 and 40 who are in the early stages of their careers. The program provides travel grants for teams to exchange visits in paired areas of different countries. For four to six weeks, team members experience the host country’s culture and institutions, observe how their vocations are practiced abroad, develop personal and professional relationships, and exchange ideas.

In a typical four-week tour, applicants participate in five full days of vocational visits, 15 to 20 club presentations, 10 to 15 formal visits and social events, two to three days at the district conference, three to four hours per day of cultural and site tours, and three to four hours per day of free time with host families.”

And stay tuned for more details about my adventures with Rotarians, Brits, and infamous English food. And beer.

Ascending into Quarter Life

I leave for London on Saturday.

And all I’ve got to show so far is a suitcase overflowing with “maybes” and “this might work” and “god, I hope this fits.”

Scratch that.

I’ve also got a toaster that I set on fire this morning. And a sugar buzz that still hasn’t worn out from last night’s Finale binge session. And an evening planned that includes dinner, drinks and a mean game of Cranium.

Happy Birthday Kimmy!

Happy Birthday, Dear Kimmy
Kickin' off the quarter-life crisis with chocolate.
