Airborne again

Flying to San Diego.

Exhausted

After a really long day, marred by delays everywhere, finally arrived in Denver in the wee hours of the morning. I even accidentally checked the book that I was supposed to read on the flights.

More later...

New England

Today was a spectacular New England day; the kind of day that makes one realize why they called this part of the nation New England. It looked, felt and smelled like the Home Counties, but prettier! (And I know, as I spent six weeks in Harrogate, England a few years ago).

Lectures and presentations and conferences went well; and I heard a question from a billionaire that I'd have thought would never be asked by someone in her tax bracket; she actually asked: "How much is that?"

Live and learn.

Next: Airborne from New Hampshire to Philly and Joneseying something fierce.
