The Froth

Down by the lake

Sunday, November 16, 2008

In late October, I went on a little trip to Lake Plastira, in Central Greece. I completely neglected to upload photos because Christmas in the magazine intervened and I had to host a fake Christmas party with all the trimmings (photos of that are coming later on).

To my friends in the US: That’s so great, what you did. You chose a good man for President and filled the world with hope. All these past years, you must have felt the despair of not being represented justly to the rest of the world. Europe is a more cynical place, yet we too need [...]

I have got a problem. My problem is twofold. The fist part of my problem is that I am obnoxious, therefore things that should not really annoy me, do. Like things that make everybody else happy. The second part of my problem is with the word “nesting”. I dislike this word unless it concerns birds. [...]
