Just before leaving the office today, a weird thought about Douglas Adams and Vogon Poetry brought me to a web site called the Vogon Poetry Generator. It asks for a […]

Shamelessly stolen from Illusio (by invitation!) This is one of those “Survey Blogs” … feel free to jump in … steal the text below, edit, and blog. 100 Statements Bold […]

[The following blog has been back-dated.] Saturday found us awakening to a beautiful sunrise, and a wide array of options. We exercised one of those options, then decided to explore […]

[The following blog was back-dated.] The plan was ambitious. Leave directly after work. Deliver Alexis to a friend’s house, in a small, god-forsaken town in Tennessee. Then escape, and enjoy […]

I added pins today for MarcB in Stafford, Maris in Peterborough, Mort and the Mortlings in Telford, Stu and Sarah in Kidderminster, and the instigator of all this, SimonG, in […]
