Yes, late again, I know. No, I don't have an excuse this time, either. All I will say is, of late, I have been reading through Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, and let's just say, it has gotten me...

Just a quick one today, lads, as it has been a long day of... well, walking around aimlessly in the glorious and all-too-rare sunshine while trying, and failing utterly, to sort out arse from elbow...

Yes, this one is late again, and this time it is due to the stupidity of your host. You see, I was feeling grouchier than usual yesterday - due in no small part to somehow tweaking my back again...

Gents, have you ever had one of those days where you had grand plans to do all sorts of useful and impressive things, and it all came down to taking a 2hr nap on the couch? Well, that was pretty...

As I mentioned yesterday, this particular stretch of the year is great for oddball made-up holidays. Today is, of course, Caesar Stabbification Day, in which the legendary Roman general and dictator...

Today is, of course, International Women's Day, which is almost a complete non-event in the Western world, but is a REALLY BIG FRACKIN' DEAL in Eastern Europe. The interesting thing about that lot...

It has been one very long and extremely busy week - this is one of those cyclical turns that comes around every so often, when everything happens at once and there is almost never a spare moment....

Since my capacity for deep thought is rather limited today, due to the extraordinarily busy few days I've had, I will spare you my usual nonsense about geopolitics and current events. All I will say...
