Made it safely back from the Ile de R? and boy are my arms tired.

It’s lovely in France right now, but we’ll be off for a few days up to Naumburg Saale for the Nietzsche conference. Hopefully I’ll have some free time and internet access to upload some pictures, as well as more CVs.

Anyhoo:

I have a few new pictures.

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200;DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style;DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin (R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5;DIS.top=Math.cos(R* y1+i*y2+y3 )*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

Paste it in the address bar. Click go. The pictures fly round. Ooooh.

Michael Motorcycle Appreciation Day

On this day in 1973 Michael Motorcycle was born. He is my older brother, and every year on this day we observe the Ceremonial Gloating, where he says to me, “and now I’m two years older than you again. Nyaaa,” when Mom isn’t looking.

A talented child actor, Michael Motorcycle acted in film with the likes of Michael Caine, Pierce Brosnan, and that guy who played Max Headroom’s real-world counterpart.

Michael Motorcycle is also a talented lawyer, and a partner in a firm in the capital of South Carolina.

Michael Motorcycle is married, has two sons, and a golden retriever.
