New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Newark, NYC

Hey folks, long time no posting. My bad. These days I've been feeling like quite the globe-trotter; I returned home to New Brunswick for the holidays, then Memorial University in Newfoundland as a visiting student, and this morning my bags are packed once again and I'm off to Newark, New Jersey, to visit the world's largest jazz archive for my research on the history of jazz and rock criticism. Newark is also a mere twenty minute train ride from New York City, so I'll have to dip in for a day or two to see the bright lights.

When I return from my trip, I hope to do a better job of posting to this site with at least a mild degree of regularity. Until then...
