I arrived back in SFO on Sunday. The flight back was pretty poor… I’ve had worse.. but then I’m pretty used to it by now. Anyway, that’s a story for another time; I just wanted to note that I’m back, and am going through my handful of photos. It’s a surprisingly large amount of work;… Read more
We just had an earthquake. Not a damaging one, but enough to shake the room, rattle blinds, knock [precariously placed] stuff off shelves, etc. It certainly gets the heart going a bit, though… now I get to sit here and wonder if that was just the precursor to something bigger, or not… And already there’s… Read more

I decided I really didn’t particular like my bank account containing actual money, so I went and spent a chunk of it on some airplane tickets. These airplanes are known for travelling vaguely over the Pacific at times, and may indeed be landing in Melbourne. 😄 To be less annoyingly vague, I’ll be flying out… Read more
