So we're back from London!  Okay, we've been back for a few weeks, and I haven't given you an update lately because, well, I've been busy.  Darn busy.  But I thought I'd better give you an update before you all decide I must have disappeared in an ash cloud somewhere over Iceland.

London was great, and the response to "What's in the Bible?" was really fantastic.  It seems the British and I connect pretty well on humor.  Must be all the Monty Python and Benny Hill I watched growing up.  I thought I'd show you a couple of pictures to prove I really was there…

This is me attempting to place a collect call to the Queen… it didn't work…

And this next one is the Kingsway booth at the Christian Retail show we were attending.  Kingsway is our partner in the UK, and they just love Buck Denver and the gang (especially Clive and Ian, cuz they're British), as you can see from this pic…

We premiered the first DVD at an old movie theater in Notting Hill near Kensington Palace. Lot's of fun!  I did a bunch of radio interviews covering much of the UK, which all went very well except for the guy who really wanted me to peg down where EXACTLY in England Clive and Ian grew up, because he couldn't quite place their accents.  I think I said something about also doing a very bad German accent on the show, so I was an equal-opportunity accent offender.

Hopefully the word will spread around the UK that there is a really fun, new way to teach the Bible to kids (and their parents!) and we'll start to see an impact.

I have to get back in the studio now – we're doing a really fun new series of shorts in partnership with Awana Clubs called "Clive & Ian's Wonder-Blimp of Knowledge" where Clive and Ian fly around in a blimp finding answers for kids questions about God.  It's kinda weird.  The blimp pilot is a monkey.  Of course.  I'll give you a peak as soon as we finish the first episode.
