greetings from heathrow airport

This pic­ture was snap­ped about two minu­tes ago… Flying out of Lon­don in about an hour.
All going well, I’ll arrive at my hotel in San Fran­cisco around mid­night tonight.
This is not set in stone yet, but it looks like I’ll be moving out of Lon­don some­time in the next few months, and moving back to my cot­tage in the English boo­nies [Cum­bria]. Don’t have an exact date yet. Hell, it could be a cou­ple of years. See where the chips fall.
New­castle Inter­na­tio­nal Air­port is less than an hour’s drive away…
[UPDATE:] Mis­sed my con­nec­ting flight. Drag. Sta­ying over­night in Chi­cago. Hope­fully be in SF by lunch­time tomo­rrow.
It’s funny, peo­ple give blogs and blog­gers a lot of stick, but all the blog thing has ever done for me is given me lots of money, free­dom, job secu­rity, and per­so­nal sove­reignty. I often won­der if the folks giving us blog­gers stick have as much of the for­mer as I do. Often it seems to me that they don’t. The­rein lies the rub.
See y’all when I get to America.

    Truth be told, Hugh, you’re not exactly the ave­rage blogger.

  2. I’m really plea­sed you’re thin­king of moving back to Cum­bria. With your job (it is a job, isn’t it?), you should be able to work whe­re­ver you damn well please. And Cum­bria is a won­der­ful part of the world.

  3. The fresh air is beau­ti­ful up here, Hugh. :-)

    I don’t know why this cheers me but I think it’s because Cum­bria is heroic while Lon­don is Web 1.0

    Well if you are ever bored I can lend you a hairy woo­luff or 2 for a walk over the fells!
    Good luck with the move, Jen­nings will be pleased!
