Ed is in Chicago

the blog has been under posted recently, as our modem was struck by lightening last week in a great Midwestern thunderstorm of epic proportions. It looked like some overenthusiastic gothic horror filmmaker had designed a film with God as producer. But after hours on the automated phoneline (I'm sorry. I didn't hear that. Did you say you want to disconnect your phone?...) to AT&T our friendly local telecommunications giant, we were sent a new one in the post. At the moment I am writing from the library, but I have high hopes for further more permanent connectivity.

I really have to post a few photos. We went on a little trip to the Mexican neighbourhood, Pilsen (yes - it used to be the Czech neighbourhood) last weekend, so I will put some of them up if any came out alright.
