Welcome to Breakfast in America

I’m a Brit who unexpectedly emigrated to the USA in 2008, and this is my photo journal.

It’s an eclectic mix of things; there’s no guiding theme or topic. It is whatever catches my attention, what I’ve been thinking, doing, or piques my interest. Currently that’s mainly backpacking and clearing some of the backlog on my ‘honey-do’ list.

Memories

A dozen pictures, picked at random from my favorite memories. You can see my portfolio here.

  • AI

    Working with AI is like working with a very polite, ingratiating, savant teenager who has odd memory problems.

  • Furnace Closet refurb complete

    No more green paint, and the many years of scratches, scrapes and various holes drilled in the walls have been patched.

  • What hole in the wall?

    Four days later, and it’s all fixed. I also patched the rest of the walls, the ceiling, and repainted the lot. The Dyson battery & charger holder is also in place.
