Hi there,
I am a radio producer working in London England, and am working on a feature about 4am (the time), and all the interesting things that go on during that hour.
I love the name of your blog, and wondered whether I might be able to talk to you about 4am, if indeed it is an important time of day for you!
Best wishes,
Lucy

FYI: I did a fellowship in Brooklyn over the summer. It was phenomenal. Your choice of image here brought me back to the program in a flash, so thanks.
(Visits rediscoveringbrooklyn.wordpress.com if you want more about the bridge and all the other stuff).
Dad, your posts are always so BORING.
Good. Really good.
