I'm writing this on Thursday morning because yesterday just turned to be too long a day (another). But at least it didn't have to do with work. Annette, Alison and I went to "Anything Goes" at the Theater Royal Drury Lane. It was really an enjoyable and relaxing evening of fine music, dancing and comedy. (The only drawback was the theater, which was like a sauna. Hint to self: Lose the tie and sport jacket next time!)
I took a new route for my morning run on Wednesday. This time I went west from the Waterloo Bridge, up the Victoria Embankment toward Westminster and on to the Vauxall Bridge, then back along the south embankment, past the London Eye and on down to the Millenium Bridge. Part way along the run, I hooked up with another runner who seemed to be going the same way and at about the same pace. Turns out he is an IT pro with Coopers. He knew about TechEd Europe, but wasn't going. He served as my unofficial tour guide of the waterfront.
The weather has turned cooler here -- finally. It could even rain. Wednesday was an incredibly busy day in the office with out-of-town visitors and lots of clients bustling through. Today's a little more laid back as everyone's jamming to get their work done in time to leave a bit early (5.00) for the Big Game -- England vs. Switzerland. As Gary, the doorman, told me today, "If we can't beat a bunch of volunteers, we don't deserve to be there." He was referring to the fact that the Swiss don't have a professional league on the caliber of other European countries. The team is apparently made up of club players, not highly paid professionals. Hmmm,they played pretty well in their first game, tieing Croatia 0-0.
