Travelogue: Rain

While the trip has been a wet and cold one this far (…and why not!? This is London in the winter after all!), we have not had actual rain until today. It has been mostly heavy fogs and mists. This morning, the rain was coming down in sheets!

Travelogue: Camden Town

This morning, I made my way out from the hotel to Camden Town. It is a wonderfully tacky place full of curious shoppes that sell jewelry, shoes, leather clothing, tattoos, piercings, and all manner of artsy-fartsy stuff. The market that many people seem to thing is Camden, is such a small part of it; and I mean that quite literally!

Travelogue: A Tramp Through The Past

What a lovely day! Okay, so it was overcast, and oaky, it occasionally sprinkled a bit. But it was still a lovely day!

Travelogue: Wind

The wind has been howling past the windows all day today! This building is so noisy when the wind is gusting as much as it has been.

Travelogue: On The Cusp Of The Weekend

It has been a long and productive week! This time last week I was convinced that there was a mountain of work ahead of me; there was no way that I was ever going to be able to plow through all this by the middle of February. I am now feeling a bit more certain that it is possible.

Happy Birthday to the USO

Happy birthday to my friend Sean

Travelogue: Weather

It is cold and wet (well, misty) here in Maida Vale this evening. It has been cold and wet all day. But at least it is nowhere near as cold and wet as it is back home. Someone had mentioned that it was sub-zero (Fahrenheit) back in Denver. I checked the traffic cameras near my home this evening. I could not tell what the weather was like. There was a sheen of ice covering the cameras.

Chinese New Year

Happy birthday to my friend Eric

Travelogue: Long Hours

Lest you get the erroneous impression that it is all visiting pubs for Bacon and Brie Baguettes and Pints of ale, I feel I should probably point-out here that there is a lot of work that I get done while travelling.

Travelogue: It's A Small World

It is often said by the insiders in my industry that the industry has only about a hundred people in it. It only seems larger because we keep moving around. I have had many examples of this, but none as striking as the one that occurred about an hour ago.
