I've been busy getting ready to leave home, leaving home, travelling and arriving. Now I'm in London and have a new blog describing life there. You can email me (email address can be found on this page) to get the URL.
[I'm not sure how often I'll be posting in this blog, if at all, over the next few months.]
It's a meme:
Princess Diana's death - August 31, 1997

There's just been a huge HIV/AIDS conference in Mexico, which I didn't see any mention of in the media here (though that might indicate more about my non-reading of the Australian media than about what they publish.) A friend of mine attended from England, though as she's not back home yet I haven't heard her account. But I came across this discussion of the anti-circumcision booth at the conference - there's been a move (largely from the US) in recent years for male circumcision as a counter to HIV transmission in Africa. This discussion neatly summarises the phallacies in that position and there's a link to a webcast of the anti-circumcision session at the conference.
I've been to countless 40th birthdays and several 50ths and a couple of 80ths, but last night was my first 70th - and it was for a friend, not a relative. Such is the age bracket I now move in.
If, like me, you didn't have a clue about the Georgia/Russia situation, this analysis by Immanuel Wallerstein is enlightening.
