| Introduction | I'm a quiet, smart Brit with many years' experience of some things. I've lived in California for seven years and all my friends back home are jealous because they think I'm on the beach all the time, basking in the warm sun or under the welcoming shade of a palm tree. Clearly they aren't familiar with the central San Joaquin Valley, where it is certainly warm (in much the same way that Bill Gates is comfortably well off), but where the only palms are in outdoor shopping malls, and while the airborne pollutants do have the consistency and intrusiveness of sand, they lack its soothing qualities. Let's see, what else? I write occasionally for the online magazines Blogcritics and Eurocritics. I've journeyed widely around the globe, but my domestic American travels have been, so far, alarmingly limited. I haven't yet visited the Grand Canyon, Disneyland, the Little Big Horn or even that burger bar shaped like an orange on Highway 99. But I will get to them, I promise. I live in domestic bliss with my wife and two hairy children, who would like it to be known that "Meow" (which means, as do most things in Cat, "I am hungry"). I enjoy blogging but should probably be doing something else. |

How is an ankle unlike a consequence?
A consequence has never been considered an erogenous zone.
