Gorgeous Graveyard!

Check out this beautiful image of a nicely lit churchyard on DD’s blog — the photo was taken just today, not too long after her arrival in Oxford.

Wow. As the parent of a toddler, I have a ways to go before this kind of thing happens.

Brace yourself, Joe. Having your kid fly into an airport that was just targeted by insane Islamic physicians and then having her spend a month in a country that has been declared the target of a fatwa (the whole country, mind you — because of a book Salman Rushdie wrote almost 20 years ago) …

You’ve got a ways to go before a lot of things happen.

Things you’d never imagine, btw.

BTW, the Gatwik airport was really nice…very low key. It was very well laid out and everything. So it does have that going for it…

Expectations

Hello! I'm Alice, which is my real name (most of the other names here have been changed, though, to protect the innocent). I live in an almost-100-year-old house in downtown Chattanooga, TN with my first husband, Ralph (who is from New Canaan, CT), and a cockapoo named Nonnie (the moniker comes from a Laurens van der Post book). Our daughter, Emmie, plays a supporting role on the blog -- she's off being a student, but she pops in often enough to keep things interesting.

I originally hale from Batavia, NY, a quiet little town in rural western New York. Ralph and I met while attending college in Carlisle, PA, and then moved on to Chapel Hill, NC together before finally settling in Tennessee. Other places we've lived in long enough to have a mailing address include London and San Francisco.

This blog is about a lot of things -- the places I visit, things I cook, people I meet, photos I take, things I read, and -- of course, politics. I'm an unrepentant progressive, liberal, lefty, euro-loving, educated elitist and I'm looking forward to an administration that doesn't raise my blood pressure quite as often as the outgoing one did...
