How many times have you been to London?

I have been to London a total of six times: 1985, 1999, 2000, 2003, 2005 (including 7/7/05), 2007. I'm also going back for trip #7 in October of this year.

I was supposed to be in London in June--when the failed car bombs were discovered. I'm a summer London jinx, I think. Won't go back in late June/early July for many years to come.

Who is on your myspace with you?

If you see a picture of me with a teen-ager, it's 99.9 percent likely to be a student of mine. The current photo (me on the Tube) is with a sophomore that went to London with me this spring (I don't think you know her, bravie). The other kids on my myspace are also students unless otherwise indicated.
