Brit Observations

A few things I've noticed about the Brits:

* They give good directions, unlike the Irish, who make a game out of giving the wrong directions.

* A lot more reading going on here--in the tube, on benches, inside churches.

* A lot fewer cell phone calls. I have yet to hear a single call that intruded upon my space and quiet. Very respectful.

* A lot more white people here than in LA.

About Me

Southern California, United States
Perhaps my friend Mark summed me up best when he called me "a mystical grammarian." I am quite a mix--otherworldly, ethereal and in touch with "the beyond," yet prone to being very precise and logical, when need be. Romantic in the big-canvas meaning of the word, I see the world as an adventure, as a love poem, as a realm of beauty and wonder.
