greetings from heathrow airport
This picture was snapped about two minutes ago... Flying out of London in about an hour.
All going well, I'll arrive at my hotel in San Francisco around midnight tonight.
This is not set in stone yet, but it looks like I'll be moving out of London sometime in the next few months, and moving back to my cottage in the English boonies [Cumbria]. Don't have an exact date yet. Hell, it could be a couple of years. See where the chips fall.
Newcastle International Airport is less than an hour's drive away...
[UPDATE:] Missed my connecting flight. Drag. Staying overnight in Chicago. Hopefully be in SF by lunchtime tomorrow.
It's funny, people give blogs and bloggers a lot of stick, but all the blog thing has ever done for me is given me lots of money, freedom, job security, and personal sovereignty. I often wonder if the folks giving us bloggers stick have as much of the former as I do. Often it seems to me that they don't. Therein lies the rub.
See y'all when I get to America.
Truth be told, Hugh, you're not exactly the average blogger.

Good luck with the move, Jennings will be pleased!
