Old friends and blog carnivals

Gawd. The Flying Doctor just got back from travelling the world; I haven't spoken to him in a year. He called an hour ago and my mouth completely ran away from me. On the rare occasion that I paused to draw breath he did try to get a word in, bless him. But each time he ended up apologising for interrupting me. (And so he should! Did he really expect a two way conversation?)

Anyway sorry Flying Doctor, I promise that I'll let you speak when I see you in person. Can't deal with phones at all, they make me yabber more than usual...

On a completely different subject, my post about Chicago was featured on the latest Carnival of Cities. If you'd like to include a post in the next edition, the instructions are here.
