God save the queen
So, it has been a frickin long tme, are you glad I am back? Oh yeah, you never read anything from me, oh well, my loss?
So much has changed since I last talked, been to China (Shanghai) been to Belgium (Ghent) and will be going to Korea followed by Wales soon. Lots of work travel, good projects, lots of fun, rewarding, important work is leading me to many different places in the world.
The bike trip? Did it, rode from Home to Mt. Pleasant to Lake City to Central Lake to Mackinac, it was a frickin blast and I will be doing it again.
CArrying most everything you need on a bike for 80-100 miles per day is difficult, but when you ride into Mackinac, the reward of realizing you have made it is out of your mind.
I had a very small tent, a small pad and a sleeping bag, one change of clothes, a pair of pants, and a jacket, the last morning waking up in Central Lake at 5.15 and putting on cold wet clothes was a bitch, but some of the down hills between Central Lake and East Jordan were worth it, 40 mph on a bike, while the sun is rising over the hill is a great feeling.
China was a great trip, I am assigned to lead a group of sales people, 4 Chinese, 1 Japanese, 1 Korean, and 1 Brazilian, and 1 Mexican, on a very significant six sigma project. We worked very hard in China and played hard as well, Shanghai is a very westernized Chinese city, I could see us living there, altho Europe is a better bet.
My wife and I went to Belgium for one week in Early November, we stayed in Ghent, but visited the North Sea at Oostende, drank many awesome Belgian Beers, and did some excellent networking. What a cool town Ghent, saw an absolute masterpiece, the Van Eyck's Adoration of the Mystic Lamb. Almost made me want to go to church, almost.
I am tired and tired and tired, going to Atlanta for three days on Monday. Maybe I'll have time to write more then. See ya later. PO Monte.
