Im just about to land in jolly old England.. And I'm feeling neither jolly nor (thankfully) old.. Unfortunately due to an equipment mixup, i did not have enough battery power to get all the work done i needed to do .. So it looks like a long night.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am happy, though, to be returning to the UK. Ive only been here in short (1-2 day) stays since diane and i lived here in 1984-86. I was working at ibm hursley and diane was at grad school at the university of southhampton. <\/p>\n
In fact,… on Wednesday, i will return for first time I've been back to our adopted home town of Winchester for… Hmmmm… When was it ? Sam was 3 and max was 7 i guess that makes it something like 17 years.. Then we traded homes wihit our dear friiends phil and sue.. They took ours, we took theirs…<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I remember that trip so well…. We sat in their wonderful house in the country and watched old godzilla movies and played with their cat….<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Now so much has changed… both sam and sue have died. . Phil is visiting in the us.. Tis week aNd im going to be here on my own,,, Im looking forward to it in a nostalgic kind of way… If you can look forward to something in the past. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I do look forward to walking the same streets.. Seeing some old friends and reliving those relativly crefree days of warm beer, cream teas and fried food.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I am looking forward to the work im doing he as well.. Im very excited about the stuff im working on now.. At the same time its complex… Wish me luck..<\/p>\n
