Brief update
My family headed over to the US to meet relatives a few months ago, and a local newspaper published this article about their travels (the image quality isn't fantastic):
The Great Michigan Tour of '08
On my thesis front: not much going on at the moment, I've been tinkering on an article on the Eurovision Song Contest that I want to submit soonish.
I'm also currently doing a little happy dance - I just found out I got a Convocation Travel Award!
