Finished the talk

Phew!

Now I just have to deliver it.

Arse.

Bem Vindo a Omission Statement

Ah yes. The only Portuguese I know, and I learned that that from Nando's. Sorry for the lack of posts, and I promise a full series of cruise and Nworlins posts forthwith, but at the moment I'm more concerned with my current situation; I'm in Lisbon, I'm giving a talk tomorrow at 11;15, AND IT ISN'T FINISHED YET (sometimes accidentally pressing caps lock is just so right...)

Fuuuuuck.

I'm too tired - still suffering from jet lag, as my return from the states was delayed by two days. That also accounts for why I didn't plan this talk days ago.

Aaaarse.

They say Lisbon is easy to fall in love with. That remains to be seen. What I do know is that I had a very nice grilled Dorade and a couple of beers for dinner, and that espresso is ridiclously cheap. In fact, at my hotel it's free.

I'm going to bed, so I can get up early and finish the talk. Wish me luck...

New Orleans and the cruise experience

Hi folks

Quick post now - I'm using precious access time. I will compose other posts offline and upload them later.

Chicago with Tom was a blast - the conference less so.

Louisiana is, Tom, hotter and more humid than Chicago. I ate much gumbo, and also
a fine pig's tail and cabbage (of which more later).

Cruise is made entirely of cheese. Crazy crazy. Of which more later.

Peace out people. Be excellent to each other.
