Friday at 4 pm is the perfect time to start work on a new book, right? (Actually, starting work on a proposal for a new book.)

Love it when #TheAshes are in Australia. You can get up early in the morning and listen to #TMS on a cold morning while wickets tumble on the other side of the world

The cheering for each Scotland goal tonight shook our block of flats and rolled around Lochrin Basin. On nights like this it's great to live in the centre of the city.

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

I miss real tickets but Bob really delivered last night. Still getting it done at 84. (The phone ban works and Glasgow crowds never disappoint.)

According to the girls it's raining cats and dogs outside (and Bella Dogliano wants to stay inside). The word of the day is #dreich.

It's only been two days and I'm done with the Ken Burns "discourse." Watch it, don't watch it. I don't care. I'm muting you all.

It's me. I was the free event (yesterday). Post-shutdown, there was a small group of folk committed to history. Thanks to them for coming out and the National Park Service for hosting!

So, they want staff to attend graduation (fair enough, I usually enjoy doing so) but threaten us with disciplinary action if we misbehave. (And 'role-model' isn't a verb!) Nice to feel appreciated.
