I am in Cheltenham Spa for a day of meetings—and they’ve gone well. I’ve also managed to get set up with a suave desk and an Internet connection so that I can work. At the expense of going out, I finally finished the big project—on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day—so I emailed it off and […] Here in London, much of the news about Beckham going to America focuses on two things: (1) How much money is involved; and (2) How Beckham going to America will transform soccer making it popular in America. My responses: (1) Good for Beckham’s bank account, bad investment by the owners of the LA Galaxy (is […] Today was a rather quiet day, in most respects. There were really two principal things that I did: I went to the Tate Modern and went to see The History Boys. Along the way, I did some shopping at Foyles, wandered the streets, and took a Walk of the University Quarter. Of all the museums […] I headed to London today, getting up at 5:15, catching a train that got me to the Frankfurt airport just before 10. My flight to London City was scheduled for 11:45, but was delayed until 12:30. The flight was uneventful until the landing–the landing was the roughest landing I’ve ever had–even worse than my landing […] Today was a lot of work. I started out by walking downtown—I had to do some shopping. A quick stop at Müller and I had picked up enough tissue to get me through the remainder of my current cold and the worst part of my next cold, as well as laundry detergent, shampoo, soap, and […] I didn’t get home today until just before 11. It had been a late night at the office because we watched a movie and because I was working on my huge project—which I am happy to say is closer to being done than it was this morning. I want to have it finished tomorrow, although […] So whilst I am going to the UK to have several meetings (London, Cheltenham), meetings will not be the only thing I do whilst there. I fully plan on having fun with a trip to the Tate Modern (and a ride down its famous slides), doing a London Walk, or two, and whatever else can […] I have one of those colds/sore throats where I feel slightly disembodied—you know the type. There’s always a stuffy nose and a vague disassociated headache attached and one feels like sleeping—a lot. On the plus side, I managed to get a lot of the project out of the way—the mindless part, staring at the computer […] Today is Twelfth Night—12 days after the birth of Jesus, and the day that orthodox Christian sects celebrate Christmas. Me? I have a mild cold, have done four loads of laundry, and am going to bed. I haven’t been in a writing mood this week—which explains the complete and total lack of anything to read on this blog. I have been reading a number of other blogs—trying to identify myself on Eurotrippen’s “3 simple blogging truths.” (She’s my favorite blogger right now.); trying not to snort too loudly at Jon Swift’s […] |
