Totally Off Topic Blog Post

As many of you may know - I am a transplanted Brit.  I grew up in the UK in the city of Bristol and moved to Canada when I was 22. 

As a transplanted Brit I am a soccer afficionado.  For those of you who follow me on twitter or have my IM you may know already that my home town team in England - Bristol City - is on the brink of promotion to the English Premier League.

I will be getting up early tomorrow (7am local time) to watch Bristol City play Hull City in the Championship Play Off Final at Wembley to see if they can get the dream ticket to mega soccer dollars that is the "English Premier League".

As an aside, some of you may know that one of my hobbies is Genealogy.  I recently discovered that one of my ancestors (my great-great-great-uncle - William Richmond Nurse) was one of the first Presidents of Bristol City Football Club back in the late 1800's.

So - Go Robins go!!  On to Glory !!
