Home from the lightning visit to London, which was wonderful but also far too short. I have too many friends who live too far away. That sucks in ways I'm only now understanding.
Waiting for the whomp of jet-lag to hit, which it will in about *checks watch* two hours. Update: Right on schedule, 8:55. *ker-thud* But had good time, managed to get some writing done, some actual business done (two meetings and a get-together and maybe a new client for d.y.m.k.), much biz gossip, and some important thinking about on-going Things and Themes in my life. And now it's back to what we jokingly call Real Life.
But first, some of the London haiku...
oi! You brown-beaked gull.
The train leaves 6 minutes past;
pray it doesn't rain.
Pour me another.
London Bridge is falling down...
I'm damn tired, too.
Eros misname'd
Soho at night, glittering;
Children out too late,
Cry gray rain
Leaving london-town.
Bloody hell.

Date: 2004-01-20 06:31 pm (UTC)I'll call your cell tomorrow after work concerning Hartford (which yes, I do have to go to on the 26th, joy o joy, but if all goes well it should be a pro forma hand-judge-stipulation-and-leave appearance given recent developments on that front). I seem to have misplaced your actual home number, ditzy me....

Date: 2004-01-21 08:28 am (UTC)You know, I really do love the pic of Wren you have as your icon, and the text you have with it is just perfect. And also I'm jealous of whoever the artist is because they have more talent at drawing than I do. *g*
And congrats on the other potential client for d.m.y.k.! Am very glad to hear that the freelance business is working out for you!
Though to be honest, I'm so sad and pathetic that I can't figure out what it stands for yet. If I ever hire you, will you just tell me? *g* Yes, I know, some day I'm going to have to finish what I'm working on if I ever have a hope of hiring you...
