Yes, I’m Back

…but I won’t be giving a London recap until we get back from Robert’s, where we’re heading for Thanksgiving today, because of COURSE he only has dial up (OMG!). Yes, pictures, yes, fun, yes, friends — much to tell. I will add because I have to get it off my chest: FILTHY PHILLY! Eww, eww!…

Happy Halloween!

Happy Spooky Day, everybody! Hope you’re all doing something fun today. We’re heading off to see the brothers down in Kingston, mon. I got a card from my sweetie with some Hello Kitty devil mints, an Oliver Reed Curse of the Werewolf finger puppet (!) and Halloween crackers. Last night was the Devil’s Night Reading…

Happy Birthday, Steve

HB, big bro! Hope it’s a great day hangin’ with the little bro in the ancestral home. I headed out this morning for Buckingham Lake, a local nature spot which I found out about thanks to pal Jenise. It lies a reasonable walk away from the Aerie and has a nice little path around the…

Solid, Jackson!

Saturday night we headed down to Kingston, mon, to see Joe Jackson at the UPAC. Of course, Robert gave us a fine feast first (mmm, chicken satay). It was the first time we had been to the venue, so it was interesting to look around. It’s a nice old theatre. The opening band, two guys…
