Not a real update

Because who's got time for a real update, anyway?

But I can offer you a cute picture featuring noodles!


I can also tell you that it feels very, very weird to see yourself in a banner ad on a website.



Cheers!

"We Cheer the PITTSBURGH STEELERS!"

Greetings from Slough, England, U.K.

It's cold here, and they are expecting snow in some way/shape/form tomorrow. Which is troubling, because snow does not get along well these days with Southern England.

I have a running joke with my U.K. co-workers regarding snow in this area: It seems that if a single snowflake hits the windshield of a car traveling down the M4 motorway, that car immediately flips over and causes a multi-care pileup which takes 14 days to clear off the road.

Fortunately, I'm staying a stone's throw from the office and could conceivably walk there if worse come to worst weather-wise.

Unfortunately, I'm here during the SuperBowl, in which I expect my Pittsburgh STEELERS to crush their opponent (the Arizona Cardinals).

Fortunately, with the help of a very amenable limo driver (technically a Land Rover driver) I was able to procure two interesting 500ml beers to serve the dual purposes of helping me to cheer my team on to victory, and helping me forget that I am in Slough watching the SB by myself on a 14" TV in a hotel room, instead of watching it on my 50" Sony TV with my family and friends by the warm hearth of my gas-powered stove in the basement that I had finished for just such a lofty occasion as my favorite sports team (like, say, the STEELERS, of whom I've been a fan for over 30 years) playing in a world championship game.

Or something like that.

Anyway, the brews:
1) Wychwood Brewery Hobgoblin Ruby Beer
2) Young’s Special London Ale

Is it 11PM GMT yet?

GO STEELERS!
