Telling the story of the ups and downs, the adventurous and mundane days of one British family's self-imposed exile in the Capital Region of New York State.
Our weekend of rock got off to a great start with a good Rock Band Night. We did some Beatles (with harmonies) and followed up with some Rock Band 2 action. At one point we ended up with a prog-rock-heavy set and I reached for the camera - to the distress of those actually playing the game...
While we were doing this They Might Be Giants were (I assume) performing their album Flood in Albany. We are going to see their family show tomorrow - their kid-friendly albums No! and Here Come the 123s/the ABCs/Science are firm favourites with all of us.
The Exile began on January 10th 2007 (Day 0) when the_exile (that's me) accompanied by Exile #2 and our two daughters (Exile #3 and Exile #4) moved from the UK to New York State in the USA. Since arriving we have had a son known as Exile #5/Native #1 (or E5N1) - dual nationality is a wonderful if cumbersome thing.
January 11th 2008 was Day 1 + 1 year - and I decided on the shorthand 'Day 1.001'.
I hope you enjoy reading these observations and stories from our everyday life.
For those who know us, it's nice to know that you are keeping up with what we are up to, forgive the absence of personal information and names etc. and I'm sorry that you have to read this to get our news.
For those we don't know personally, welcome! I hope you find something to amuse or inspire, some insight into the process of settling in having moved abroad, or whatever it is you came looking for.
To all: feel free to leave a comment, it's nice for me to know you're out there.
