lotusphere is in less than three weeks now and the wednesday night party venue has been announced. this year it is at universal studios. this will be quite strange as we were there only last friday (and a few days before that as well) so the rides will all be fresh in my mind. maybe …

dual
the eds meeting was pretty uneventiful in the end yesterday. our contracts are being tranferred next monday but nothing else is changing in the short term. and i have found that it is best not to assume anything beyond the next renewal anyway so i will just forget about it until the end of february …
normal
things are well and truly back to normal. work is already at a manic level and it looks set to continue at the same level for the next few months. this is not a bad thing as things had been due to slow down in march this year at which point i would have been …
back
the journey back from new york to london was pretty uneventful. security at jfk was completely over the top but not sure if that was just for ba or if all of the terminals were that bad. i decided to get into the office early this morning so that i can get home early this …

kennedy

merry
wishing everyone a very happy christmas. we have just opened the first bottle of champagne and plan a christmas day bbq around the pool!
busy
i had meant to do my usual and post every day while we are away but we have been so busy do nothing that i haven’t had the chance! we went to universal studios today (as the picture proves) and did all the usual rides. it’s still very difficult to get used to the whole …
