LAST ROOM AT THE END OF THE LINE

The last room of a six stop roadie through England is the most expensive per square foot. It’s an impressive number due to the square feet. The smallest of the six, it’s on Bayswater, a half a block from the Notting Hill Gate into Hyde Park. Queen-sized bed in a queen-size bed slot tight enough […]

STUDY CULTURE FOR MORE SATISFACTION

Study culture in a bar that has a stairway to a church balcony in the corner. What do you do? Pretty simple question, don’t you think? You go upstairs.

QUIET WORK OF AN ENGLISH DAY

Quiet work is the sound of silence. It’s the sound of fingers on a keyboard, pages turning. Not so much with guitar practice and a dog. But those get palm muted.

BEATLES LIVERPOOL FROM THE M6

The Beatles Liverpool showed up on the way from Lancaster to Cambridge. Should I stop and look around? Pose by the statue? At the very least, sing a few Beatles songs on the way by? Me: Honey, take a music video of the Beatles Liverpool sign, and me singing. Her: Really?

LANCASTER TO CAMBRIDGE? MISSION POSSIBLE

Luckily I had a decompression day yesterday for lifting in the gym, a sauna, and a walk out in the fields before a nice dinner. Vacation, right? Or ‘Mission Possible.’

Witchcraft is not something I’m familiar with and will never be familiar with, but it seems more likely that women tried and […]

OVER DAVE, THE OTHER OD IN OLD ENGLAND

Over Dave doesn’t carry the usual symptoms of a drug overdose. Instead of sleepiness, confusion, and coma, which would be unhelpful for navigating from the shotgun seat, it’s more of a stiff arm. You need to defend against this kind of overdose or else it can be overwhelming. The first time I heard about it […]

WINSTON CHURCHILL AT HOME

At Winston Churchill’s home there wasn’t a wax figure, or mannequin, there was Winston. Along with the old bulldog there was a hype-man, a security-man, and a secretary. The four of them were in one of the rooms in Blenheim Palace. There were a lot of rooms. but only one Churchill. The following is for […]

BLAME ENGLAND FOR THAT?

Blame England? For what? For being so green, so lush, so historical with its leftover Roman roots? For having current people renting and living in four or five hundred year old houses? Go ahead and blame England for anything you want and you’ll be able to find evidence backing it up. Just make it good. […]
