Boulder to London

It’s been quite a while since my last post and let’s just say it has been an interesting couple of months.  On the home front, there are really two big things worth mention.  First, I’ve moved again in London.  The 6 month break clause was exercised on my last place forcing a move last April.  My new place is pretty cool, centrally located and set up well with a wonderful roof top terrace in a great part of town.  The bad news is that it happens to be over a dance club so I get the dulled sound of euro-tech disco in my bedroom into the early hours of Saturday and Sunday.  This hasn’t really been a problem as the majority of nights I’ve been here I’ve been so tired it doesn’t matter, or so jet lagged I couldn’t sleep anyway.  The second big thing on the home front is that after 3.5 years, Melisse and I have gone our separate ways and she is enjoying life in the S. of Spain where she can focus on her art, language and love of life in Europe.

On the work front, I’ve been staffed on a project for the last 4 months in the US.  The experience has been great as we’ve been based in and around Chicago which is a fabulous city in the summer.  The bad news is that I haven’t spent much time in London and the new flat is largely unused and I heard the summer here has been fabulous.  I’m now due for a couple weeks of holiday which I’m going to spend hanging out with the family in Washington and Montana and then mix in a trip to Fort Collins for Tour de Fat over Labor day!  I can’t wait.

Hopefully I can be a bit better about updating the blog from here on out.  Special thanks to Julie Penner for keeping the blog live.

I’m also scheduled for my first cross-channel sailing trip in 3 weeks!  Can’t wait!
