Sunday, October 8, 2006sunday night fawlty dreamingIt's Sunday night and I'm in the "don't let tomorrow be monday" zone. I try not to write too many "I'm sick of my job" posts as I'm sure they make for boring reading. Is it any accident that tonight sees the premier of a show called "The Real Seachange." Is the idea of seachange (ie. getting out of...

I'm not being metaphorical by the way, I'm talking about literal luggage.

I wanted her to see the globes: big, magnificent, old fashioned free standing globes of the world.

Obviously I want to get in touch with the primal core of the US... oh give me a home where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope plaaay. I spent a little time this...
