Cross Training.

London has great museums. I just discovered one that I really enjoyed yesterday: the Imperial War Museum. Unbelievable. I judge how much I like something (art, music, movies, surfing, snowboarding, sports, museums, books) on how much it moves me. How much it makes me feel. Expression needs to say something, ya know? Anyway, I have to go back again to the war museum today because I only saw half of what I wanted to yesterday. I'm so glad that I haven't had to fight in a physical war. Or even live in war time when everyday life was changed. I saw an example of Little Boy, the atomic bomb that made Japan's government reconsider their WWII war efforts. It struck me how such a small device could have the power to vaporize 70k people, and left another 70k living the rest of their lives very uncomfortably. The museum also gave me a new appreciation of how difficult it is to run a country. When decisions will cost lives, well how do you make that choice?

On a lighter note, here's a pic of JB cross training during the no-snow months. War ends lives. Snowboarding saves them.

I went to an amazing underground World War II museum last time I was in London that had a lot of exclusive info on Churchill during the war ... It sounds like you would LOVE this. I think it is actually across from Westminster Abbey, as you begin to walk into Hyde Park from the back entrance... Hmmm I wish I could remember more about its location. But its in or around Hyde Park I think... You should check it out B, SO RAD.
