Stand by for blogging

Remember when I blogged from Gatwick Airport? Well I am now blogging from Heathrow airport! Please begin visiting here again tomorrow, when regular posting shall resume.

Until then I'll just tell you about last night's episode of Families Behaving Badly, a British reality show about out-of-control children and their useless parents. As I watched in wonderment, five children were shown tape of their mother saying "I never wanted kids," which was shocking enough — but apparently therapeutic. Then the narrator delivered the real kicker during a long family meeting: "They had years and years of grievances to get through, so not surprisingly [the meeting] took more than four hours."
