As the London Times recently said of my living room, though you probably didn't see that, as it's behind their subscription wall. Had to check the definition. Hope they meant more "markedly old-fashioned" than "rotten".

Starting tomorrow on the 36-day pre-Canadian leg of the Zero History tour. US and UK schedules are behind the button on this site's front page. The subsequent Canadian dates (all in October, save for Nov 1 in Victoria BC) are behind the modest blue link on that schedule page.

Have not been blogging for quite a while, hence the fustiness, due mainly to the sublime ease of Twitter, whereon I am @GreatDismal and quite annoyingly posty.

Hope to get a bit of a breeze through here, with the constant traveling and all.
