Another cold morning 24f. I have been taking care of last minute details, and I am ready to go to the airport in just over 1 hour. Befor I know it I'll be in Manchester England, England as the song fro Hair goes. Will try to keep you up to date with English football while I am there.

New York seems to want to say goodbye with a cold hand. I leave for England tomorrow and this morning was a windy 20f ( wc 11f ) , it really felt cold. On my way home it was 24f ( wc14f ). There is bright sunshine so that when you are inside it seems like a nice day out there. Paid some bills to ensure that I have a phone etc when I get back.

It was my last full day at work this year, I have a few hours in the morning and that's it. Then off to England on saturday. We had goulash for lunch today and it was pretty tasty. The weather was mild, but you can see that there is a change coming. It's going to be cold tomorrow.

Surprise, surprise, Arsenal,Man U and Celtic join Chelsea and Liverpool in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Even though Celtic lost to Copenhagen. I am already making my bags ready for my trip to England in a few days. The weather was a little warmer today but there is still very strong wind. The winter in New York so far as been the winter of strong winds.

It's the last week of group stage matches in the champions League and Chelsea won to top their group with Barca winning to finish second in the same group. Liverpool lost in Turkey to Galatasaray but still topped their group. This morning the temp' was 29f and stayed cold all day.

Here is the latest Christmas Lights photo, this one is just a few blocks away from where I live. It really feels like Christmas is coming with temp's staying only just above freezing today, and expected to go below during the night.

Temp' was hovering just above freezing this morning when Utpal and I ran. The sun was shining however so it didn't seem so bad. We have had some really strong winds around here lately, and a tree came down onto the local tennis court, and a bunch of guys with chainsaws wnet to clean it uo this morning. Good work for this kind of day.

Today was an interesting day for a December 2nd, while the temperature was quite low ( 40's f ) , it was abright pleasant day. Arsenal, who have not been doing too well lately, beat Spurs 3-0 and moved up to 3rd in the premiership. They are still 16 points behind Man U who are at the top. Wolves beat Southend 1-0 and are back in 10th in the Championship. tonight a bunch of us got together to watch a classic Japanese film " Tampopo".

Well it's December 1st and it is a windy rainy day in New York. I wanted to take a nap but I figured I should make a post first. It also happens to be my 500th post on this blog so that is quite a milestone. So my blog post is about making a blog post, so there!
