To both you and Donal, my sincereist of apologies, i feel truly awful. >Sounds like you had an "interesting" trip. Reminds me of something >someone once told me, there is an old Chinese curse, "May you live in >interesting times." Your time in SD sure would meet that curse! It's a great curse that one. Luckily, the conference i was there for was good. A mixture of hard-core academics, and folks writing about really wacky stuff. I'm making this one up, but some of it was stuff like "References to bananas in the lyrics of Jimi Hendrix' 1966 songs". I couldn't wait to leave SD in the end, but i would like to reverse the feeling i got about the place and see a little more than California next time. The level of folks without homes REALLY freaked me out. I handed out a lot of cigarettes and change while in the U.S. It was probably a good thing i didn't phone you at 3 AM from San Diego asking you to come and pick me up, huh? :-) Lots of apologies to both of you.
