Hello from gate 17 at heathrow. Friend dave just dropped me off after a longggggg drive from cambridge. Two traffic incidents had traffic way backed up so it toom us 2.5 hours for the normally 1.5 hour drive.

I got here an hour ahead anyway.. But did not know that virgin closes their flights at one hour. A bit of pleading and a nice smile got them to lift the gat. Now waiting to board.

Phew.

Great and productive trip.. More thoughts on that tomoorw.

Nite all, nite sam
