So long suckers
I’m off to Paris for the week. Later.

Taken last weekend in Detroit. Graham’s Grandmother with Lenny Kravitz.

It’s ’bout that time again.

Party at my place

This Friday, starting ’round ten, my buddy Owen and I are celebrating our December birthdays.

Details in the English Club forum here.

Ten baffling ancient artifacts.

The Baghdad Battery. The Antikythera Mechanism. My favorite, the Dropa Stones. Tee-hee.

This week marks the 25th aniversary of John Lennon’s death.

This Saturday, the BBC was to air a never before aired interview with John from 1970–recollect that was when the Beatles disbanded, kids–where he supposedly said all sorts of nasty things about Paul, Mick, the Beatles’ sell-out etc.

Alas, I missed it. If anyone finds a link to it, please send it my way.
