This was probably our easiest intercontinental flight yet, thanks in part to the inadvertently educational in-flight entertainment system<\/a>. We caught the tube all the way up to Golders Green<\/a> (no apostrophe there, for historical reasons–this excuse covers a multitude of sins in England)–to spend some quality time with Val’s delightful musician friends, their lovable elderly golden retriever, and two cats. We took Gilly (the dog) for a brief walk in the park after a nearly-fatal nap, ordered in some Chinese food, and began setting the world to rights. <\/p>\n

Today we are resting (I’ve been reading Robert Hass and an essay by Richard Jackson on imitation that will fold nicely into my upcoming talk<\/a>), adjusting to the new time, and getting ready to head down to Portsmouth<\/a> tomorrow to visit Val’s oldest school friend. The following day we’ll catch a ferry to the Isle of Wight<\/a>, then back to Golders Green on Wednesday.
