Two apologies, a link and virtual sock drawer

Hello all. Just a quick note to say I'm missing you all back in Britain. Three weeks just wasn't enough, and I still haven't got round to apologising to the many decent folk I just couldn't fit in.

So, it's back to Japan - everyday since being back has been like a sauna. Sounds fun I'm sure from chilly Britain, but 30 days on the trot with temperatures over 30C and humidity a few notches away from 100 gets tiresome very quickly.

Anyway, moaning aside, I've got a fun task to do - help sub-edit an article my old school pal Mrunal has written about raising his disabled son and balancing work. I'm looking forward to doing it, but I want to do a great job, so have been putting it off in typical poor time management on my part.

Apologies again, will get to it shortly. In the meantime, here's a bit of proper writing I did for a Washington DC political blog. That was fun too, but think I should spend my time on writing that great unfinished novel sitting in my virtual sock drawer.

Time marches on!
