    Just starting my first full day in London, but if the rest of the trip is anything like yesterday, I'm in for the trip of a lifetime.

    Here are photos from Arsenal v WBA yesterday:

    Freakin repped! The best way for me to get inspiration besides reading the good book before Easter service is to look at the photos! You must have had great seats. Since I will not be able to see Highbury this is about as close as I will get. Love the shots of RVP looking at the camera, Anfield89, OldTrafford02, and I believe WhiteHartLane04, and also looks like the Arsenal ladies' team is still doing well (and we got a couple of hot ones! :D ). Great pics...Well time for church...Happy Easter everyone!...Thank ya now...Roscoe!

    I have to agree with everyone else: those bathroom facilities are spectacular. Wish we had those high toilet standards in America.

    So close that we made eye contact, and gave each other a little nod and a smile as I walked by. :)

    That photo was taken just a few moments after I met TH14. Shook his hand, presented a trophy, posed for an AFC club photographer. Chills...

    The other players were all just milling about after the match, and I was just standing there waiting to make the presentation. I would have loved to ask them to sign my program or something, but couldn't really go running after them with the vase in my hands.

    Yeah, sat w/Rick, then because Rick knows the steward that escorts the disabled folks from the Clock End, I got to walk with him along the edge of the pitch to where I was supposed to meet Jill instead of going back outside the stadium and around. THAT WAS AMAZING. However, I was quite conscious of not stepping on the pitch itself.

    Hey guys, no, no pictures of the presentation, as they were taken by an AFC official photographer.
