Yes, I know today’s Friday. This may be in part inspired by my recent-ish reunions with former Torrens Park Cub Pack alumni Ben Glazier, Jeremy Cochran, and via t’internet, Alex Brooks. Or maybe it’s the product of a mind desperately searching for stuff to make lists of. In any case – here’s a list of…

Spiders and I have a bit of a non-agression pact going currently. It wasn’t always this way, but then in Australia they’re usually going into the argument a little better equipped. It started when I was about 8 or 9, and Dad made us a sort of cubby house in the back yard which was…

General consensus in here is…
And that, as they say, was the trip. I’m presently parked in the BA lounge at JFK, having been dragged from my 9:00 flight to the 18:00 one. They offered me $800 by way of compensation for my trouble, and by smiling at the lady I managed to wangle a day pass to the lounge…
That was awesome. So good to be back. Thanks to all of y’all: especially Bullfrog, Rebecca, and little Miss Callie.
I got interrupted from my top ten this morning by an airport cab driver who had the gall to arrive early, and my laptop’s currently checked into a baggage hold somewhere so I can’t finish it… So I’m sitting waiting now for my flight to Jackson, Mississippi to board. This’ll be the first time I’ve…
