Outta here

We depart for Heathrow in a bit, so I'm going my last blog before the inauguration. We three are excited, looking forward to the glories of the US, spending time with friends and with each other. Our little family hasn't been on a holiday together in quite a while so it's going to be a good time in many ways.

On the travel topic, safe travels to all who are out and about this weekend, especially those heading to DC.

It wouldn't be my blog if I didn't cover a few current events, so here we go...

Why, Boy George, why? You had so much with Culture Club then lost it due to drug abuse, but was able to turn it around to be a cool man with a good career. I'm not saying you can't dance with the devil a bit but why couldn't you just keep it this side of the law?

OK, I'm intrigued about this book. When The Guardian has to ask "is it a daring feminist work or just puerile porn?" you know it's got the goods...

Don't mess with the books, people. You'll never get away with it...

Lastly, although US Airways lost a plane, they showed they know how to run exceptional service. Well done, Captain Chesley Sullenberger ...you are a hero, indeed.

Next stop, DC and witnessing a country led by President Obama. Bring it on!
