For those northern readers - Miss S. and I will be up in your neck of the woods on the weekend of 11-12 November to attend whatever ends up being the Newtown festival. Hide your silverware.

Of course, if happens, I'll be back there again the weekend after, as well.

Here's an ad Michael J Fox has cut, promoting a democrat who's running for congress on a pro-stem-cell reasearch line. It's really quite awkward to watch - we've all seen Fox for many years, and seeing what Parkinsons has done to him hurts. It's almost impossible to link the person in this advert with the star of the Back to the Future movies.
