Protocols

Wednesday, December 6th, 2006

Some people think that I am damned,
Some people think that I’m [...]

Wonders of Nature

Sunday, April 30th, 2006

My five year-old son has been watching a nature documentary series on DVD produced by the BBC. He’s so thoroughly absorbed the material that he’s taken to correcting his mother and me on the pronunciation of certain words. See, he thinks they ought to be spoken with a British accent.
