Back

...in one piece. Mostly.

Got back late Sunday after 12 hours traveling with the three kids and our twelve pieces of luggage. Oof.

Ireland was as beautiful and welcoming as she always is. Just a fantastic 10 days of storing up memories and catching up with all the family and old friends we see so rarely.

Now back into figuring out how, where, and whether to reinstall myself.

Catching up on a quick zip through the blogroll this afternoon, one of the first things I notice is the dreadful news that the remarkable Rageboy is in an even more parlous state than we are. We're not at the point of having the phone cut off just yet, TG.

This is just crazy. One of the finest, most unusual minds of our generation is struggling to scrape together enough loose change for a pack of smokes, while elsewhere infinitely less talented people are being paid inconceivably large sums for dreaming up sludge like "Joe Millionaire".


Euan Semple has set up a "Save Rageboy" PayPal fund if you want to send cash to Chris Locke. Give whatever you can (if you can) and spread the love.

Meanwhile, the ever resourceful Gary Turner is selling the limited edition Save Rageboy 2004 Calendar, plus t-shirts, and the classic Rageboy Commemorative Thong. All proceeds, of course, to the Save Rageboy fund.

A worthy cause. Give now. Give all you can. Give often. For all that he's given.
