Busy busy busy

Another day, another journey, investigating and establishing one's identity...
You know how it is.

Yesterday's journey was an interesting one on the train.
Maybe it is only in the second class Master Cutler carriage that one gets a proposal of marriage from a perfect stranger.
As I am not really into polygamy, I felt I should refuse.
The guy already had two wives and six children.
(But maybe he was just trying to impress me with numbers. It is a common gambit.)
Perhaps if I had read this book I would have seen things differently. After all, as we multi modal, post structuralist, post modernists, post academic, post haste blog posting bloggers know, relationships are just a social construct.
Certainly as research into female baboons clearly shows, the more wives there are in a household, the more help you can get with picking out fleas.

Mmm hmm.

......well anyway .... that was a bit of a digression,
The conference I went to was a rather flashier affair than I am used to.

I came home really tired and not a little unhelpful to my family. This is where maybe I could agree that polygamy is a feminist act.

And maybe `I should think more about whether I want to be a soup maker or write papers.

Either way, boys and girls, tomorrow I will be exploring more about identity, journeys and maybe a little 'Je ne sais pourquoi'.
I am not kidding you mate, this is the space to be.
