I’ve been memed!

I’ve been tagged!  Thanks to Jack Sender.
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT OBSESSION?
Hmm.  Podcasts.  I listened to all 33 episodes of “Evo at 11″ last week, for example.
DO YOU NAP A LOT?

Tour blog #3: Kingston

My apologies for the lack of pictures in this entry.  The camera was out of batteries and I didn’t think to get anyone else to take pictures.
