Alive and well, and living in 2011...

So, the big man from England/Wales/Ireland (*delete as applicable) is back. A year of clearing mental and writer's block has meant that now I am positively brimming with tales of 2012. The visit to the US for Thanksgiving, the addition of a new family member, the woe of the Irish economy and how it's affected me and TDT. I'm sure most of you facebook readers who are unfortunate to have me as a friend know most of this and a lot of you won't, so in the words of Randy Quaid in Independence Day, "I'm baaaaack!"
