“Weather man and the crazy chief
One says sun and one says sleet
AM, the FM, the P.M. too
Churning out that boogaloo
Gets you up and gets you out
But how long can you keep it up?”
-The Clash – “The Magnificent Seven”
The fact that we arrived in Sweden yesterday unbruised and still speaking to one another is testament to [...]

A little bit sad, actually.
As of Friday, I am no longer an employee of the second best university in the world. It was a day I had been looking forward to with some relish – I’ve been unhappy in my job for quite some time. I expected to bound out the doors of my building with a spring in [...]
Out On The Weekend In Oxford
Since the decision to leave Oxford became final I’ve begun to appreciate just about everything about it – maybe barring the weather. In the three plus years that we’ve spent here I’ve been able to thoroughly explore this wonderful little city and there are a few places that have become very special to me. So, [...]

Vi er går till Sverige

The crew (excepting dog) are off across the North Sea today for a trip to the land of moose and Malmo, of socialism and Saabs.

Airportman: Air travel with an infant and why Air Canada sucks
“He moves efficiently
Beyond security
Great opportunity awaits
Airport fluorescent
Creature of habit.”
-R.E.M. – “Airportman”

Z’s Music Monday: Van Morrison – “Astral Weeks”
“There you go,
Takin’ good care of your boy
Seein’ that he’s got clean clothes
Puttin’ on his little red shoes
I see you know he’s got clean clothes
