I’ve really been falling behind on my blogs. I guess I forgot what it’s like to actually have work to do every day. It’s been an adjustment, but it’s been pretty fun and exciting too.

One thing I did want to highlight from the past couple weeks was a concert that Mary and I went to.I happened to be looking through an upcoming events page on the web, and ran across a listing for the Soweto Gospel Choir playing at Stanford University. This two time Grammy Award winning group is from Soweto, South Africa. They are a terrific singing group performing spiritual and spirited songs in Zulu, Sotho and English.

The concert was really nice. It was at the Stanford Memorial Church: a beautiful, non-sectarian church built in the early 1900s. Although the sound system could have been a little better, it was an great setting for this group. The choir performed with no accompaniment other than two drums. They displayed a wide range of styles including an incredible version of Amazing Grace. Their costumes are full of vibrant colors and they even mix in a few short dance routines. If you have the opportunity, I would highly recommend going to see them.

In other news, Mary and I are heading off to London next week. I’m heading there to finally get some training on the products I have been representing for the past 1.5 months. Mary has managed to convince her boss to let her work remotely for the week and a half I need to be there. Hopefully well have a chance to see some sights on the weekend and get a good feel for life in London. It should be fun.
