I happened to be reading articles from the BBC that I get in my email every morning and I came across this one article that I thought was really interesting and certainly relevant to my stay here in the UK. It’s just that in the UK they are in the process of changing their one…
The invitation said to arrive at 17:00 hours. Actually they suggested that I arrive about 15 minutes early as there would be lots of activity then and it would be a busy event and that while their intention was to get everyone in they needed participants to be prompt. I’ve been to the old town…
Just imagine over 50,000 performances of more than 3200 shows all crammed into a 3 week time period. It actually seems like it might be a bit longer because some performances are playing right up until August 26th. And it’s not just street performances. There are big names and there are also unknown newbies performing…

I have friends all over the world. Some of them move from time to time a lot like Americans might move from Maine to Florida for the winter months. And a lot of them now either have families and/or collections of stuff that they’d rather not part with. So moving from one place to another…
Yesterday I happened to be out at Fort Williams Park where there is The Portland Head Light. I had intended to do a live video while I was standing there in front of one of the most visited and photographed lighthouses but alas Facebook sent me a message that I couldn’t do that because I…
