Back To London
Finally I am back in London. Not quite back in to all of this yet though, so don't expect much from me for the next few days. The flat's got 6 guests at the moment so it's all a bit hectic. Just wanted to let you know I was still alive.
Christmas was good. Lots of mum's cooking and far too many of her excellent cakes (I've always been spoilt by having a cookery teacher for a mum). Although I'm not a religious person and think Christmas is a mockery of a sham it does offer the only chance I get to see a lot of my family each year, so I don't mind going along with it.
Have a good time tomorrow and I shall see you all in 2003....
Mere Christianity
New York: MacMillian, 1943.
Good to see you alive again, Jack! They've found a cure for dead, then? When do we get another sequel to Perelandra?
Happy New Year Jake !
"Jack" ???
"Jack" (or "Jacksie" in his younger days) was the preferred name of address for one Clive Staples Lewis, author of the Narnia series of children's books, the Perelandra series of sort-of-sci-fi Christian allegories, and several of the best-known and most highly regarded essays proselytising for Anglicanism in particular (and Christianity, or at least SOME religiousity) in the twentieth century. Having thought him dead since 22 Nov. 1963, I found it rather surprising to see him posting here of all places.
22 Nov. 1963 - the day Kennedy was shot. Did CS Lewis die on the same day then ?
Not a good day to be famous then?
What could we have done if we had a time machine and could have travelled back to that date?
Perhaps we could have travelled to the States, stood on a grassy knoll and shouted "DUCK".
