Catching up… catching up… This entry comes way back from April, my trip to London on the weekend following the marathon.
My cousin Zed met me at the finish line. He had arrived in Paris during this last, dull week of training (all carbs and no booze and early nights). It was really nice to see him there, a friendly face to help me limp home.
A few days later, we took the Eurostar to London. This was our second trip there together, so we‘d already visited the big museums and monuments. This time we were there for strolling, shopping and (hopefully) clubbing.

Is there any event so trivial that it can’t be blogged? Rhino seems to think so, making the ridiculous claim that climbing up to the terrace of the Institute du Monde Arabe is not blog-worthy unless something additionally exciting happened up there.
Me, I’m my own excitement. We didn’t even make it up to the top (it closes at 18h00). Whee!
And that’s all I have to say about that…

So, who’s on the Facebook? It’s fun for the whole family!
It has a particularly nice API for third party developers to offer interesting and blahblahblah services and applications blahblah, providing innovative blahblahblah in a vibrant and blahblah community. In short, your friends can send you pretty pictures of Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park.

(This is from last October. I know… I’ve still got some catching up to do.)
There were only three kids this Halloween, and they were waiting for me in the hallway when I got home from work.

Alright, I have a backlog of posts that I’m going to try and push through this week. The photos in this one are my favorites from Duckie’s visit, nearly but not quite a year ago. I have another upcoming post from last Halloween and if I don’t get my act together, it’ll arrive sometime after this Halloween. There’s a particularly great one coming up from Lisbon, which dates from last April. Why did I get so behind in my posting? I’m not entirely sure. I still feel like I have things to say, and life’s continued to be interesting over here. Maybe I just needed to lay low for a while and appreciate life. Maybe I’m resting on my laurels — as I never hesitate to point out, I’ve been blogging longer than you.
