Oxford Bound (or is it bound to Oxford?)
Sitting here in the Vancouver airport waiting to board the plane for England. Describing my mood is similar to the beginning of every retirement announcement I've ever seen, "it is with mixed emotions that I announce the retirement of .....". My emotions are mixed because on the one hand I'm really excited to get to England and start school. On the other hand I'm really sad to leave beautiful Vancouver and all of my great family and all of my great friends. Spending two weeks here rekindled a lot of great friendships that I'm going to miss over the next year.
But by far the biggest reason I'm upset about leaving is that I haven't had a chance to meet my new niece/nephew. I hope to meet him/her soon.
So now I have to decide if I want to continue the blog during my time at Oxford. I'll see if I have enough time to squeeze in a post or two.

We're sad that you left before the "big event" too, but I know you'll be so immersed at your time as a starving student it will be no time before you're home for Christmas!
you better keep writing in your blog...it gives me something to do since I have no life...
ps. whatever you do, don't cheer for Man U, otherwise i'll call you a sellout.
Happy Birthday Tom!! (October 2nd)
PLEASE keep your blog up to date while you are at Oxford - you have an amazing way with words and I love reading it! Looking forward to seeing you at Christmas. Best of luck at school!!

Tom I am feeling you on missing family friends and the birth of your nephew/niece. I missed the birth of my niece last month. That hurt. But fear not my friend, the human spirit is resiliant. If I can do it then you will have no problem. keep up the posts and good luck.
