Mike and Trish are getting married. Next year. For now, we’re having a party. At Trish’s house, with Hawaiian theme and good food. Not to mention the pool and the ice cream and all that.
A day of sun, food, friends, and laughter. Cherish these moments, Homer.

This has been quite a week for New York City.
Wednesday saw a tornado touch down just north of here in Westchester County. Apparently, some buildings were destroyed as this was in fact a proper twister!

You again. Oh, we meet again. You haven’t changed much. Still struggling to add that whole 5th Terminal thing, but other than that the same old Heathrow. You slut.
First things first. Arrived at Heathrow hungry, my own fault, but whatever. After queueing for what seemed like hours to check in my single piece of luggage, [...]

Out to Finsbury Park for RiseLondon - an annual music festival to celebrate diversity and eradicate racism and all that bollocks. But for Keith and I, it meant a day out with people of all colours and shapes and sizes and odors.
Jamaican food on this side of the pond is surprisingly disappointing. As is soft-serve [...]

Nothing says America’s Birthday like a riverboat party on the Thames. That’s London, in case you didn’t know.
Jason and Drexel undergrads greet me as I board. Laughs and catch-up talk. Meet the yanks. As the shadows lengthen, we see the landmarks and cameras flicker as hastily-posed snapshots become universally fashionable.
The symbols, of course, are slightly [...]

On the road again, this time heading back East. Long story short, we couldn’t find any place to ride horses (because its Sunday) so we decided to take a detour to Bath.
Bathing with the Romans, in a manner of speaking, in the bathhouse and natural spring in what is certainly the strangest British city I [...]

As I mentioned, Britain is in the midst of a heatwave. And having spent the past week and a half in cities, I realised I needed to spend some time outdoors. So we went to the beach. It is summer, after all.
Out on St. David’s Peninsula, the sand is fine and waves are small. And [...]

Carmarthen is the oldest town in Wales and supposedly the birthplace of Merlin. These days, its not much of a site to see, but did have to stop by to walk for a moment in the footsteps of the Romans, this time at an ampitheatre.
These days, its really more of a hill (with good acoustics) [...]

Next, hop on the bus and down to the Cardiff Bay, where, apparently, things are happening.
Cardiff Bay is actually pretty nice. It reminds me of Baltimore, or one of those other cities that actually pays attention to the stuff that touches the river. This is where all the Welsh Assembly buildings go and where experimental [...]
