Hot Stuff
Been helping at the degree ceremony today. It must have been around 30 degrees or so as we all sat there in our suits and gowns. Melting. The best part was that Bill Bryson, of travel book fame, came along to receive an honorary degree. He is one of my heroes. If you haven't read "Notes from a Small Island" or "A Walk in the Woods" then you really, really should. I'm going to read them all again starting now.
Standing only around 10 feet away from me, Dr. Bryson (as he is now) gave a speech (wish I'd had the camera with me). Very nice chap. Completely made up for the heat....
