Intertemporal Musings

The problem afoot here at "the Adventure" as this site has come to be known in the blogosphere is that time keeps marching on and the endless transitional tasks here in London (read: work plus figuring out how to fit my entire wardrobe into a 2.5' wide closet) have prevented me from working through the series of events that would bring us all up to date. In the meanwhile, experiences that I'd like to write about every day still occur but go by the wayside (i.e., rest precariously on the shaky architecture of my short-term memory).

The solution is obvious. As my erudite readers will appreciate from Michael Cunningham's The Hours -- and just in case a different Michael for the rest of you, Michael J. Fox's Back to the Future -- the narrative will now take on an intertemporal quality, moving back and forth in time until plot lines converge again in one unified storyline. If I can actually accomplish this before 2008, I'll be surprised.
