Good outing for the Arsenal yesterday, winning the Barclays Asia Cup 3-1 against Everton in Singapore. Hot and humid weather in Singapore which, in solidarity, Chicago did its best to match. Read More »

The times they are a-changing

July 14, 2015September 6, 2015 Amy O3 Comments

Progress is inevitable. What’s also inevitable is how we humans feel about it. We don’t usually love it so much. Show me a guy who’s happy about progress and change, and I’ll show you the one guy who will definitely profit Read More »

At some time in the past 15 years, from my home in the Chicago area, I fell in love with Arsenal, a London-based Premier League soccer club. Before the 2015-16 season, a share of season tickets fell into my lap and, in this blog, I chronicled my obsession and family adventures in London and back in Chicago.

I gave up the share for 2016-17, but just couldn’t stick with the decision as the share somehow didn’t manage to find new hands. What could I do? There it was, orphaned.

I gave it up “for good” at the end of 2017, when I moved to California.

All right…. I’ve managed to attend a few matches since then and it’s clear I can’t really put it behind me, not forever, anyway. Join me in my travels to London during the season in which Arsenal are sure to win the Premiership.

Really.
Stop smirking!

Arsenal are awarded the Premier League trophy
