Yes, 'expatriate'...no Pinot, just past my bedtime. But, I suspect Bryson 
found England a calmer place to live in the 60s.

A 'Short History of Everything' is likely his best, is an award winner, and 
it is on my list.

He narrates The Thunderbolt Kid...done well. Dentinger & Wismer will enjoy 
this one, just with the oblique reference to Thunderbolt. I have the book 
wrapped to send to them...if I ever get around to it.
