Hello,

This is the first in a three-yearly series of posts about me :)
I'm almost prolific.

You're alive! Glad to hear (read?) from you :)
We got your Christmas card, thank you! Please give Nicky and Annie a hug from us, and don't think too much about being unemployed. Half of the US is at the moment, and we haven't spontaneously combusted or anything just yet ;)

Well, I'm lucky in that it is my choice this time. I think I will be able to adapt to the different lifestyle. Heck, I might even post more on LJ and send out addresses!

I think you'd make a marvelous teacher. :)

The dissertation will be around the experiences of second generation British Buddhists - i.e children born into families where the parents converted to Budhhism. Are they Buddhists by default?

It's always lovely to hear from my favorite dancing partner. I'm so happy and excited about your new career.

Thank you! I am happy and exctied too, but a little nervous - I've been working full time since I was 16, so this is a big change.

As always, it's good to hear from you Jonah. :)

Thanks Michael. I will look forward to reading about the cruise.
On my cruise Marcus Miller gave two talks specifically on Kind Of Blue, one of them with Herbie Hancock. I listen to that album now from a whole different perspective. Did you get the link I sent you?

Sadly, I didn't get the link. Could you try again?

jonah_uk February 13 2009, 13:12:18 UTC

Unfortunately. no.
It was one of those listen again things that is only up there for 7 days, I think.
