Last day of London.

July 21, 2001

Tomorrow at this time I will be on a plane destined for Chicago, IL. And, to say goodbye to this great city I bought a bunch of clothes today. I figured it's the only real way to say goodbye. (small tear...)

Last weekend when I went to France I picked up a USA Today. (Don't worry, it was free. Paying for that is like buying porn.) Everyone knows that USA Today is not exactly a 'credible news source,' but this copy was a cut below even their standards. The headline on the top fold was, "Americans confused by Stem Cell Debate: 59% need more information." Now a normal paper would provide this information so the reader wouldn't be confused. The USA Today just tells us what we already know and joins the rank of regular joe. Although this is bad, it gets worse. Their big story of the weekend was about packaging and how it has become increasingly harder to open. The first line of the story was...

"Why is stuff so hard to open?"

I kid you not. On the next page there was a 14 step guide to opening a CD case. Kara and I laughed for hours.

Well, time is running out on the card and I am running out of things to say. I'll type to you stateside.
