While I must confess that I would have liked to hear more from Mr Keiller, this might be the best interview I've read!

Hope you're feeling better, Stephen!

Absolutely hilarious!  Thank you Stephen!  Glad you are feeling better!
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

Sorry to hear about your travails! I'm going to bookmark this article for reference whenever I think I'm having a bad day.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

This is actually the quintessential Stephen - well written, interesting, funny and yet somehow still ...  a bit off and perhaps even controversial.  Great read and hey, you still have to go get that interview!
