I ate pizza for the first time ever today! Yes, that staple of hacker foods, previously denied me for nigh on 29 years due to irrational cheese avoidance. You might argue that the last thing my burgeoning waistline needs right now is another foodstuff to expand its empire, however it's a triumph of sorts. My resumption of contact with the world outside leads me to realise that not all my political opinions are compatible with the current climate. A year's crash course in keeping my mouth shut helps, but its tough to listen to ignorant and ill-informed rubbish at the best of times. Thankfully, managed to get together with a sensible friend and talk later. Looks like an unpopular office move will take place after all, and this will have an impact on my commute time - nothing like as long as before though, so I've maintained a Zenlike calm about it all. It will be sad to once again leave Russell House, but I figure this time its for good. Some promising upcoming concert dates arrive. A new Beulah record is eagerly awaited - despite the slightly dark memories surrounding the last one. Still can't believe I ate pizza!
I've had a home on the web for more years than I care to remember, and a few kind souls persuade me it's worth persisting with keeping it updated. This current incarnation of the site is centred around the blog posts which began back in 1999 as 'the daylog' and continued through my travels and tribulations during the following years.
I don't get out and about nearly as much these days, but I do try to record significant events and trips for posterity. You may also have arrived here by following the trail to my former music blog Songs Heard On Fast Trains. That content is preserved here too.
