Good to be home

I'll be the first to admit that sometimes the traveling part of my job can be cool, like having a meeting in London last week that also allowed us to hop up to Dublin for the weekend. But for every fun trip like that, there's...a week in Frankfurt. I don't really have anything against Frankfurt, but it reminds me a little bit of Atlanta--it's big and important and probably a nice place to live, but it's also unattractive, lacks character and is pretty boring to visit. (In fairness to Frankfurt, it was more or less destroyed during WWII, and on top of that it's populated by bankers.) So it's great to be home, even if I have to work this weekend and so can't go with Gretchen to Davos for a ski weekend...
