If it’s good enough for Tom and Katie… I looked at the dog and she looked back at me as if to say, “What? This is what I do every day.” Which was true....

Re-assimilation It was the middle of the night, maybe the middle of the morning. After a few weeks in the trenches, it seemed irrelevant. There weren’t any clocks and my watch and computer clock...

Luddite again My life recolves around technology, but I may just become a Luddite again. Give me a hammer.

Double 07 Somebody please tell me I wasn’t the only one to think this morning that it was odd that this attack on London happened on July 7. That’s 07/07. Double 0-7? Either sickeningly...
