The honour of the USA is at stake

This coming weekend, it is the final game of the Piedmont Potato Cannoneers fantasy football league. I, a humble Brit, have advanced to the final, already leaving a trail of US citizens – born and raised on “football” – in my wake. The sport of American Football is not generally recognised over here. My opponent for this final game is none other than our esteemed host. A man who has all the advantages of being a native to the sport. A man who’s team has been putting up huge points over the last few weeks.

The honour of the USA is in your hands, sir. Make your choices well.  How could you lose against me? You have all the advantages.

So, suddenly, possibilities are open again

Visa window opened on April 1st.

Whilst we were away, I got an email from a company in Denver I interviewed with last year, but at that time the timing wasn’t right (visa cap screwed me!). They’re interested still in me. I replied yesterday with a “hell yeah” email, pointing out exactly what had to happen visa wise (including costs).

I get a phone call tonight a couple of hours ago – it’s the techie development manager who is now in charge of hiring (wasn’t when I interviewed last year, so I didn’t speak to him). A half hour phone interview ensues.

Next step I hopefully get to speak to the head honcho. And then if all goes well perhaps get to actually start the visa process.

I’m trying not to get to far ahead or excited, because I’ve been screwed by the immigration system for the last 3 years, but……

wow.

Off to experience the magic soon….

In 2 week’s time, we shall be at Disneyland Paris!

I’ll say hello to Mickey for you all.

Haven’t stayed in France for quite a few years – travelled through it a lot, but not stayed in about 15 years I guess. Going to have to dust off my very bad French accent. Still, my limited knowledge of French nouns is enough to impress Chloe 🙂

Six year olds are great. They think their Dad is the cleverest person in the world and can’t be dissuaded from this. I’m enjoying it while it lasts.
