back in alpine, texas

[Me wea­ring my “thug hat” at the very groovy “Mar­ke­ting without Mar­ke­ting” panel Dave Par­met put together for SXSW. Details here. Nice to see Tara Hunt et al in such exce­llent form].

I got back to Alpine, Texas late last night utterly exhaus­ted, but woke up this mor­ning totally fee­ling like a million dollars, very glad to be back.
Since I left Alpine on February 26th, my tra­vels have taken me to San Fran­cisco, San Jose, Miami, New York, New Jer­sey, Miami and Aus­tin. Anyone who follows my Twit­ter feed will know it’s been fun and inte­res­ting times.
But now, as they say in Scot­land, it’s “Back to old clothes and porridge”. Got a lot of work on my plate. My ori­gi­nal plan was to return to England after these tra­vels, but I think I’ll stay in Alpine ins­tead for the next wee while, and finish off this one big wri­ting pro­ject that’s been taking up a lot of my brains­pace these days.
Alpine has everything I need at the moment. Peace and quiet, a decent cafe and a uni­ver­sity library where it’s easy to get a lot of work done. So that’s me for now. Rock on.

    The “totally fee­ling like a million dollars” must be rela­ted to the alti­tude. I had the same fee­ling when I stop­ped there last time.

    Hey Hugh, The link for “Decent Cafe” is not wor­king.
