I never knew grandpa was a bookbinder in Sweden.

My gallery

Didn't I tell you? I'm huge in Stockholm.

Here comes the sun!

This is the first bit of sun I've seen since leaving Rome.

Dirty Old Town

Well boys it's that time again. Once more you'll be privy to the secret thoughts of a man... restless. It was a long flight last night, neck breaking., I loaded myself up on melatonin and benedryl and took to the skies. It started with disappointment when Genevieve and I discovered that they no longer serve free drinks on international flights. Bah! I was really looking forward to being cut off by an effeminate steward. Damn! Oh for the days of Pan-Am. Well, I'm off to see what this bit of the world has to offer... probably a belly-load of Guinness!

Summer's almost here... Time to give the underbelly some sun

School is winding down and traveling time is here. Quebec, the original destination for this years romp, has been supplanted by a chance to sharpen my fangs in the olde country. The odds are against me this time. Will I become the unwilling minion of a golden earringed gypsy? Maybe so. Will I be clubbed to death like a seal pup by blue eyed Swedes? Quite possibly. All I can promise you is up to date details of the chianti colored bile that is the distinct purview of the belly. Stay tuned.
