Liverpool [February 11-13, 2011]

DAY ONE Friday, February 11, 2011 – Woke up at 6AM…pressed snooze button until 6:15AM…finally got out of bed. First thing’s first, rubbed eyes for three minutes.

New Plan [October 1, 2009]

The old plan of chili for dinner has been cancelled, the new plan is to have a night out in Leeds! And Ron, Darrell, and I all work together tomorrow. Reflection (from October 5) – Leeds was madness!
