Home & The Long Way Round

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

Today was my first full day back in the states. Incredibly tired. I guess a combination of being on the go every day for a week and jet lag. Going the other way was not nearly so tiring, I know.

As I said in an e-mail I sent out to an assortment of people from the airport, leaving was bittersweet. I was tired.

One day I’ll figure out how to make desire and life converge. [read on]

Museums & The Mean Times

Tuesday, May 24th, 2005

Wow, basically two days to catch up on! I never found time yesterday to sit with a computer.

I woke up on the late side, but in plenty of time for yesterday’s plans. I wanted to go try the British Museum again – this time with one of London Walk’s tours.

Houston TheEagle Has Landed

Thursday, May 19th, 2005
Well, it's really London, and it was more of a 767 than an Eagle... At any rate, I arrived here a bit after 11am. The drive to the airport was hell. Apparently an accident on I-285 which backed up 400 more ... [Continue reading this entry]
