"... Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Distiller, which I think makes the alcohol..."
- Quote from Katie while she was loading new software onto her new computer.
FYI, Adobe Distiller does not make alcohol :)

Day at the Races
Another successful day at the races! I won £29.60, not as much as last time, but still not too shabby. With half of my winnings from last time, I bought a fascinator at the Hat Company in town. What is a fascinator, you ask? It is like a hat (see picture), but usually feathery and some sort comb. Katie wore my fascinator this time and I wore my £9 one I discovered at Marks & Spencers during their sale last week. Excellent! We also enjoyed Pimms and Lemonade. V. yummy!New pictures from both race days and Katie's birthday cake (a v. large German chocolate cake) can be viewed on Flickr.
Off to finish packing - tomorrow is my last day before going stateside for a few weeks!

Watching football from afar - week 2
First off, I haven't disappeared ... I finished my dissertation! It cost me one all-nighter (which practically killed me), but it went the mail and it looking rather smart in its laminated cover and comb binding.
With that out of the way .... Ok, like last year, I am resigned to watch my Buckeyes as a little red line going back and forth on the the ESPN Gametracker. Sigh. However, a glimmer of hope emerged last week when I found 1430 AM Fostoria, who actually lets me listen to the game commentary. Thank you! To be quite honest, today's game wasn't worth listening ... 3-2 at the half?!? What?!?
While OSU lollers about on the field, I continue to be extremely pleased with 'that team from up North's' performance. I cackled with glee last week's score and I found this today's on ESPN regarding the Oregon game. Fantastic.
"This is so sad the Michigan fans will need to shoot botox into their face for the next 2 years to smile again."
Anyway, enough of football! Me and Katie are off to the races tomorrow to see if I can continue my good luck from a few weeks back. This is just tiding me over until I make the trans-continental journey to the States on Wednesday. I will be home until Oct. 9 and this jaunt includes a trip out to LA!!
Ok, back to football :) ... I am home for only one (!) OSU football game, v. Northwestern, and Dad and I need tickets. Help! Anyone?!?
P.S. Tough loss today by my Miami Redhawks (or Red Storm Rising, if you are Jeff) - triple overtime at Minnesota. Heading down to Oxford next Saturday for the Cincy (Battle of the Bell) game - hold down the fort until I get there!
