Sleeplessness

In Darwin.  The town, not the naturalist for whom it was named, neither the dolphin from SeaQuest DSV....

Sleepwalking the sleepless night of a parent of the very young - easily confused I'm sure with the sleepless night of a Consulting Manager returning from parental leave to find 226 urgent emails.

Nostalgia.  I'm conscious of being nostaligic for every year in my life to date, including very much the here and now.

In the last 4 weeks, I've seen 49 Up, read Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction, had a brand new son, and caught every episode of Countdown shown on Rage this summer.  Am I living in the past?

No, the past is living in me. 

After reading the first line above, assuming you were old enough, that moment was probably the first time you have remembered SeaQuest DSV in a decade or more.  The wonder is not that we forgot something trivial; the wonder is that it lives in us waiting to be recognised again in the futures we have created.
