So much to look forward to, and sitting at the desk time tends to drag a little.
New Years in Seattle was up there in the ‘best ever’ category .. ended it sitting on the Queen Anne hill, watching the fireworks being set off from the Space Needle. Quite odd to look back to a year ago, when I was stuck in Wellington due to work. That one ended up with me having a midnight beer at the top of Makara Peak before flicking on the headlight and perfectly riding (not even a dab!) Trickle Falls .. the hardest track in the park. If you can’t tell, I’m still a little chuffed with that. How times change.
Drove up to Oakland early this morning (East Bay .. about an hour north up the 880) for a meeting, only to find that the client had flown off somewhere else for the week. Oh well, it’s all milage that can be claimed back. Interesting city that .. very different feeling to the others around here. Famous exports include Green Day, the A’s, Tom Hanks, Clint Eastwood, MC Hammer, Jack London, Tower of Power, and Tupac Shakur.
Back in San Jose for this week and next, and working slowly but surely. Less than two weeks until trip to NZ… four cities / towns and three weddings in fourteen days. Should be fun. :) Very much looking forward to being home for a while, but also liking the idea of coming back here again afterwards.
