2 + 1 down, 9 + 1 to go...

So far so good. I'm half way through round one and have only had pleasant surprises thus far.

The whole trip from New Haven to Houston was somewhat circuitous, mostly by choice. Saw daylight while on a train for a change. It was predictably all white, reminding me of the massive, massive mountains of snow on Orange.

NYC was interesting. Crab and lobster ale. Baby book buying. Catching up after years of barely keeping in touch. Entertaining a one year old. Korean barbecue-at-the-table! Soju (:-&). Absenthe (note the e, :D). Cigar :-<. Eight months down the drain. But I'm back up to 4 days.

And of course, landing up in Houston was just so warm at almost 20° C! But guess what? Today it's 0°. I mean, seriously? Come on! Oh well, we'll see if it really does snow on Friday as predicted. In the mean time, onward to freedom. Let's hope.

Currently: cold! again!
