That was something I heard a lot from family and friends when I first moved away... "But, it's so far!" Well, we needed to take a plane from Vermont to Florida. Not much difference there. We just get on the plane in a different airport. Then, once we left, we often heard, especially from friends; "Gee! When are you going to come and visit?" Looking at the map I discovered, much to my friends' surprise, that it was the same distance from Asia to the US as from the US to Asia... So I said "Gee! When are you going to come and visit?" But Americans don't visit Asia. They go to the Bahamas, Virgin Islands, Cabo, and sometimes Europe. Asia is 'too far away.' I don't think it's a case of 'too far.' I think it's a case of 'too different....' Stitchawl |

On a train between Manchester and Birmingham. A few stops ago a group of feral teenagers got on. They are driving me mad - when did shouting replace conversation?
Just look out for the "Dozens killed in train bloodbath: man batters teenagers to death whilst screaming obscenities". |

Continuing my kitchen therapy to keep myself sane while staying with my mom.
![]() I got a bunch of fresh corn in my vegetable delivery yesterday. Mom doesn't eat it and my sisters are out of town. So I made corn chowder -- nothing fancy, but it is very good. Followed one of Mark Bittman's many corn chowder recipes. |

I am no fan of feral children. Especially those in waiting rooms. More specifically, my waiting room.

I've just finished moving a couple of web sites off MobileMe to another provider, before it closes tomorrow.

Wide awake at 3.30am. I went to bed early today and fell asleep quickly but some students decided to have a very loud fight somewhere outside and woke me up an hour ago. Now I can't sleep, after listening to the rattling airco of the neighbouring museum I decided to read for a bit.

At home relaxing.
Just spent a great weekend with two old friends that I don't see enough of. One of them owns a house in South Wales, so we went and stopped there. Played a couple of rounds of golf, drank way too much beer, put the world to rights (a by product of the beer perhaps) and generally had a great time. Make time for friends, folks
