Travel update

It's been wonderful to see more "#10 Canterbury Road" messages in my inbox these days. Although I don't post much, I do love hearing how everyone is doing.

My student visa arrived this month and I officially purchased my plane ticket to London this morning. I am thrilled at how beautifully everything is coming together... I'll be arriving in England on 17 September to begin classes at UEA on the 22nd. Needless to say, I'm very excited to be taking classes again--especially in a field that I'll continue to learn and work in for the rest of my life. I recently read Umberto Eco's Experiences in Translation and was filled with a rare sense of satisfaction: Yes. This is what I want to do.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, wherever you find yourselves. :)


(Housekeeping note: With the addition of Mike's blog, I've decided to put our personal sites in a separate category. If anyone else has a blog/livejournal/zanga/myspace page, please let me know. I'd love to see this little collection grow.)

So when Jamie & I got married in August of 2003 we had this great 5-year plan of wedded bliss until the family aspect of life would commence. With that in mind I would like to introduce you to our 2nd son - Andrew James Poelzer! He was born on June 2nd and weighed in at 8lbs 8oz and 21 inches long! Big brother Jack is 21 months so we have a fair amount of diapers in our house right now! I will just post a link to our family blog and those who are curious can take a peek at the two cutest little boys in the whole world, which of course is a completely objective analysis!

Enjoy,

Mike, Jamie, Jackson & Andrew Poelzer

Reuniting...

To respond to Missy's idea, Jill & Sean's wedding could be a good time for reuniting. With some creative planning, I might be able to stick around for a bit longer than just the wedding festivities. Especially if you're willing to do the planning, Missy. =)
