Hello. Welcome to my website. It started while I was in Europe for a semester, and I've kept it up since then. I'm now at the University of Chicago Law School, living in Hyde Park, and the story continues. If you want to say hi or visit me, email cfloyd at uchicago dot edu.

I was strolling today in the central part of town, called the Hauptplatz. I made a number of important discoveries, some of which I will share now.
You can get a hot baloney sandwich with mustard for 1.20 at the food stands. That's big time. At least I assumed it was baloney. I looked up Leberkaese at home and found out it was liver loaf. Hmm. Same difference--still tasty fried and with mustard.
There is an English bookstore with a large selection. Not sure if that's so important, but it's good to know where I can buy a Tom Wolfe book in an emergency.
I saw a kid with a short-long today. Now, the mulletude wasn't very high, a 3, maybe a 4, but it was absolutely business in the front, party in the back. This leads me to the inescapable conclusion that Europeans also wear mullets. That is a very significant cultural meme. I wonder if "Joe Dirt" ever crossed the Atlantic?
