A blog post I didn’t write for my blog

Traveling around Europe for work and play. Wrote a blog post that would have been ideal for my blog, only I wrote it for Blurb. Books on the Menu at this Irish Pub Maybe one day I'll write some more posts. One day.

Next Generation Customer Experience

The Next Generation Customer Experience event is in Los Angeles in May and although a lot of the tracks sound very interesting to me, I know that I cannot attend. Living in London has its pros for sure, but when it comes to no longer being able to fly out for conferences like these, it … Continue reading Next Generation Customer Experience →

Expat a go go

We are now five months into our overseas adventure. For those just catching up, I’ve been lucky enough to grab an assignment working out of Blurb’s London office for 18 months. Or longer. Very exciting times. In fact, time is moving so quickly that my aim to blog about this experience has been waylaid by … Continue reading Expat a go go →

Move over Hawaii, Italy here we come

It’s February. The time of the year when Shelly and I make an almost annual pilgrimage to Hawaii (insert: island du jour). Well, Hawaii’s not going to happen any time soon.

And because I love lists, I might as well list my favorites. Ranked in order of best to last: … Continue reading Gyms I’ve been to in the past two months →

But, I got sidetracked in the beer aisle, I mean beer section. And the walk to Castlerigg Stone … Continue reading The Lost Lamb aka Lamb Rescue 911 →

An ash-free post about our drive to Cumbria

Sunday April 18 Woke up to a rainy last morning in Edinburgh. Startled our B&B hosts with our yogurt and muesli breakfast, but you can only do a full Scottish breakfast every few days. We passed on the double decker bus in the drizzly weather and took a cab to Edinburgh Waverly station. Time for … Continue reading An ash-free post about our drive to Cumbria →

Dolly Parton, Princess Leia, and some bird from the ’70s

Saturday April 17 Damned if the fricken ash cloud isn't the talk of the B&B. Starting to think we should really start to worry about getting back home on schedule. Weird to have to think about. Honestly, it's the dogs we worry about. The weather changed back to not-summer weather. We spent a low-key day … Continue reading Dolly Parton, Princess Leia, and some bird from the ’70s →
