Cairo

My thoughts go out to the people of Egypt as they face political turmoil this week.  The people of Cairo were wonderful hosts during my recent visit, and I hope they are persevering through this difficult time.

Land of the Vikings

I wasn't going to stereotype my trip to Denmark as being my first visit to the land of the Vikings, but ... we worked in the Odin conference room and the (beautiful) server room is called Yggdrasil so .... it wasn't my doing!

When I was home in Seattle ...

Grabbed this picture of an Alki house with great fence art ... Groening's place on Alki?  You never know!  Bart's right foot is an automated water bowl for animals!

If it's Sunday

... there must be a line at Anne Frank House.






















Nice, mild weather today, though!  Finally kicking the flu I've had all week (I hope) and got out for a short walk, first exercise in a week.  Blechh.

Go Seahawks

I may be a few thousand miles away, but Sunday I'll be watching Seattle try to continue an improbable postseason in Chicago against Da Bears ...

Like the crew of CVN-74, the Nimitz carrier John C. Stennis, pictured here on maneuvers in Puget Sound flying the Seattle 12th-man flag, I say ... Go Seahawks

Netherlands Work Week

Running 5 days of classes 'at home' in The Hague this week, so my typical morning schedule is ....

5:30 alarm clock ... coffee ... shower ...
6:30 out the door, 10 minute walk to Central Station
6:53 or 6:59 Hi-Speed train to Den Haag HS station
No. 1 Tram to Kneuterdijk
5 minute walk to WatchGuard Den Haag, a little over an hour total travel time

Beast Mode

When I was in Seattle last week and we beat the Rams to make the playoffs, everyone was 'oh great, we play the Saints and we're going to be humiliated on national tv.'

Not so much, as it turned out!

Home to Amsterdam

No airline problems getting home ... and no sleep ...

But it was nice that the sun followed me back from Seattle!
