In 2008, I was in a London park when I came across a fledgling crow that had fallen from the top of an oak tree.

Jeff was there, and we ended up jamming together Picture Quote #1

I look forward to the day when being called ‘another Monica Lewinsky’ refers to the hard work behind a master’s degree in social psychology from the London School of Economics, after spending the first act of one’s life deflecting the shame of a scandal that should have rested on the shoulders of a man old enough to have known better Picture Quote #1

If you look at a map, you see that Hawaii is in the middle of nowhere. It’s 17 hours of straight flying from London. It’s very far away, and sometimes you feel as if you’re on another planet. But I like that. Also, that’s ideal for writing Picture Quote #1

In Rome, I particularly love the history, churches, sculptures and architecture and the fact that you can walk along a tiny cobbled street and turn the corner to find the Trevi Fountain. London is evocative of other eras and full of history Picture Quote #1

I liked Edinburgh as a university in a way that I’d never enjoyed King’s College London.
