This means you’re about to go back to reading about life in Nepal, which means fewer storylines revolving around me in my boxer shorts running away from mice. It also means that this particular blog... http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/conor/archives/017692.shtml In the week and a half since I left America, I’ve been to London, Brighton, Brussels, Sofia (Bulgaria), and back to Brussels.

That's what we're up to these days. The Little NGO That Could. My part in this is that I took those pictures; the rest was done by a rather astonishing group of friends who have been taking... http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/conor/archives/017443.shtml It is generally taken as fact that that anyone planning to take over the world will need to get a few key players on board first. Starbucks, for example. And probably Google, and Sean Hannity, and somebody that knows how... http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/conor/archives/017402.shtml Tell me which of the following true statements seems least preposterous to you: a.) In a story on CNN about how sweet young actress Dakota Fanning will play a rape victim in her upcoming movie, there was a banner at... http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/conor/archives/017369.shtml This is how a decision to indulge in a late-night Thomas’ English Muffin™ last Thursday led to me crouching outside in an alleyway, middle of the night, wearing nothing but swim trunks and rubber gloves, brandishing a large screwdriver and... http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/conor/archives/017336.shtml I was on the Yahoo! homepage on Tuesday – instead of clicking on my mailbox, as I usually do, on a whim I decided to click on the horoscopes.

Before I opened the pantry door on... http://blogs.BootsnAll.com/conor/archives/017212.shtml I rented “March of the Penguins” on DVD a few days ago.

I love that paper, even though my President once called one of its reporters a royal a**hole. Or maybe it was “major a**hole” – I can’t remember. Either way, the...
