10 Things to Do in Britain


I'm taking a long-awaiting trip to the U.K. this week. In preparation I compiled a list of things to do while I'm there. 

 10. Get Daisy Ridley's number, er, autograph! Ask to meet Rey's parents. 

 9. Find out if Emilia Clarke really does have pet dragons. 

 8. Have Wicker Man style shindig at Stonehenge. A BYOS party: Bring Your Own Sacrifice.

 7. Find the best brownies in Glastonbury; both the confection, and the fey folk. 

 6. See if Chris Hitchin's liver was preserved after death. 

 5. Create a black hole with Stephen Hawking, using household items. 

 4. See if Platform 9-and-three-quarters leads to an enchanted disco bar, as well as Hogwarts Express. 

 3. Rent the Tower of London for recreational purposes. Ravens included! 

 2. Ask Kate Winslet about the end of Titanic. Leo could have totally fit on that door! 

 1. Find excalibur. Extract from watery tart in a lake. Become king. Smite my enemies. 

 Bonus goals: Find castle Anthrax, and keep Lancelot away! Find out if Hawk Lager is real. Have a pint at the Winchester, and wait for this whole thing to blow over. 

 How's that for a slice of fried gold?

Eulogy for Lonnie

Image
This is the eulogy I delivered for my Mom. Her funeral was today, July 29th, 2016.  A wise man once said, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered to get through this thing we call life.” How does one summarize a life? I'm not sure. So I won't attempt to summarize sixty-nine years in only a few minutes. Instead, I will give some highlights from Mom's life. Her favorite books were Lonesome Dove , and The Thornbirds . She loved the music of The Bee-Gees, Hall and Oates, and Prince (hence the reference). She drank more tea than the entire population of Great Britain. Her favorite movies were The Deer Hunter , Gone With the Wind , and The Bishop's Wife . She loved Tom Selleck. Anything Tom Selleck. We used to watch Blue Bloods together, and the Jesse Stone movies.   And Mom had a fondness for knicknacks and any food that contained sugar—believe me. She could also cook a mean steak, and taught me the secret of great pork chops; which my vegetarian friends wi...

House of Jane Part III: Meeting Mr. Knight(ly)

Image
Meeting Mr. Knight The House of Jane Part Three             Jane didn’t call it, “Chawton Great House” for nothing. It is great.             I stood at the end of the long path that lead to Chawton House. It seemed so distant, and yet so close. I snapped a photo, and then walked up that long runway of tan-coloured earth. Once I arrived at the front door I paused and made note of the Knight family crest. It’s etched in stone, with the motto, “In the steps of St. Peter,” inscribed across a banner at its base. It felt odd to enter without knocking first, but I stepped inside anyway.             I arrived at the ticket office, only to discover that the last tour had concluded five minutes ago. A lady who worked there asked, “Would you still like to look around the house?”     ...

The Long Walk--Thoughts on Lockdown

Image
The Long Walk  The Lockdown for Covid-19 hasn’t been a time of side-hustles, Netflix binges, and acquiring new skills for all of us. If you’re an “essential worker” like myself then you still have to work. They say if you’re self-isolating you should perform daily routines. I don’t have that luxury, so my routine hasn’t changed too much. No, it’s not been a grown-up summer camp for me. Instead, it’s long hours of people frustrated that I can’t solve their problems in ten seconds or less. God forbid that during a crisis people would give a damn about the things that really matter. And certainly, God should forbid that anyone would have to wait on a phone line for more than three minutes.              We are both short-staffed where I work, and overwhelmed. But, surprisingly, most of the calls we receive aren’t about the economic impact of the virus itself—layoffs, loan deferments, etc. Instead, most of the calls are about petty squabbl...
