For the first time in a while, it's good to be back in the UK, where the weather is better than expected, the pool is a billion times less skeevy, and they know how to make sausages properly.
I have a ton of things to write about—traveling, ASPIRE, the gym, stem cell research, and so on—but that will have to wait: I've been to the gym and now I'm eating sausages. What I will say is that it's good to be back after 9 months, when the tiny daily improvements have added up.
