I do so apologize for my scaresness over the past year or so; time does fly when you are in the thick of things. I'm afraid my globetrotting kept me from writing many things down that could have been entertaining to say the least. Well as to my current status I am fit and firm, back here on the little island of Pitcairn. My little squire, Jonathan ( Read more... )

By jove, it's good to be among the free and dangerous again ( Read more... )

I am not dead... or worse. Your wayward journal companion has been leading a fairly busy dig site in an offshoot of the Valley of Kings, is all! I came along at a fortunate time when a prof. Heddison had a shortage of funds and assistance. Somehow running a cinema for primatives didn't seem as important as delving into history and the unknown ( Read more... )

Had a most unusual form of thanksgiving, as americans celebrate. Was invited on behalf of a collegue here on a dig. While turkey is in some short supply, they did some marvelous work with boiled Ox. Will update more later. This satellite uplink is of shotty design, and the typing is spoiling my morning tea. A nice internet cafe for Cairo, though!

Please forgive my vague absence over the past season. While I was located in the Southeastern US, I became aquianted with a most interesting chap named Bayou Billie.

I arrived in the State of Kentucky comfortably enough, along with my associate Dr. Cathersberry, and our faithful guide/comrade, Azziz. At first our suspicion was not aroused by this symposium, closed to ( Read more... )

Good show! I do say that podus mixture Dr. Nigel applied to my wounds has certainly done the trick. Apart from a nasty bit of scarring I do feel much better. So well in fact I took the time to practice my golf swing while still here on the Island. Always good to stay in competitive form, of course. Unfortunately, there is a severe difficulty in ( Read more... )

Goodness! Finally made it back from my little incontinental jaunt. And a depressingly unsuccessful one at that. Why just the time spent in New Guinea left me shot, chased and left for dead over the side of a cliff. If it hadn't been for the translation booklet in my breast pocket, I'd be dead from a poisoned blow dart already. But I'm under the ( Read more... )
