The weather here in New York is nearly biblical – rain has been pouring torrentially all morning long – so I’ve been playing hooky and working from home.

Which, I think, I well deserve, after having trekked dutifully into the office all last week despite my inevitable post-too-much-travel cold.

By now, however, I’m nearly back to full health. Which means, of course, it’s time to get back on another airplane. Yes, the travel continues. And, likely enough, the erratic blogging. Consistency’s a bitch.
