We seem to be the jinx for Euro Cup contenders. Where ever we go, the national team gets knocked out. First England and now Holland, which also fell to the more aggressive Portugese on Wednesday night. The score was 2-1, but it wasn't nearly that close. Holland's lone goal, after trailing 2-0, was an own goal by Portugal. The headline in the morning Telegraph screamed, "Oranje Wat Jammer." Or, for the rest of us -- Holland What a Shame. (If that's not close enough, ask Silvia!)
Continue goodness on the TechEd front. Lots of coverage and all of it every focused on growing the ecosystem through innovation and working with partners. Very position feel here.
Today's a first day of rain and it's pretty heavy out there right now. Lynne and I are buttoning up at the Rai center before catching the Van Gough museum and getting on a plane for London tonight.
Last night we had a chance to unwind a bit on the town after three pretty hectic days here. Joel, Claudia, Lynne and I hit some of the local haunts, watch Greece beat the Czech Republic in overtime and had many good laughs about the week. I sampled a local spirit that tastes something like gin, but watered down quite a bit. I wouldn't recommend it.
