A Chronicle of my Trip to Australia
What follows is an account of my travels during the months of May and June. To include every detail in the trip would probably result in a novel the likes of which would put those of Leo Tolstoy and Victor Hugo to shame.

Over the course of the past month or so I have written more actual entries than I had since September of 2010.

An Update and A Storm

Academics have kept me quite preoccupied as is customary, as have various musical things and familial dealies.
