Touring the best of Britain
I've always wanted to visit England and Scotland. Half of my ancestors came from the United Kingdom.
Take a deep breath, October is here
I had a wonderful trip to England and Scotland. We had amazing weather and saw so many fabulous sights. The food was much better than I expected! However, I am very happy to be back in the Santa Clarita Valley, triple-digit temperatures and all! I am very pleased that winter is on its way. Perhaps we can have some "pleasant" (cooler) weather here, too!

That would be, in fact, my primary purpose. I would want them to accept that my values are the right values to hold and I'd want them to eventually make every effort to pass those values on to ...
