WHY?

If you have ever met me, even for a minute, you know that I have a slight, if not significant, love affair with television.  When Andy and I were planning our move to London, I was immediately worried about keeping current with my shows.  Ridiculous? Of course not.  Well, maybe a little.  The writers strike coincided with our move and suddenly I wasn't behind in my TV watching and had time to figure out how I was going to stay devoted to my shows.  Luckily, the strike is now over and new episodes are on the way.  Phew.  In that spirit I wanted to create a blog comparing US and UK TV, and thus 'straddle the pond.' 

Then I realized, hmm, maybe no one wants to read about my television watching exclusively, so I decided to throw in some other discussions and notes about what I miss about the states and what I love about living abroad.  And since I have a tendency towards the random, I am sure I will just go ahead and post whatever I am thinking at any given moment as well.  Enjoy...
