Retiring the SC introduction....Victim of evolution

It's time to give the old blog introduction a rest. It was certainly relevant when my buddy Pete Marney gave me the kick-ass idea to blog about the trip south, but the blog unexpectedly got a little air under its wings, with a few more readers than I ever expected, so I've kept it up. It's (obviously) becoming something of a personal journal of things I've been up to. Boring to some...interesting to others....entertaining to probably no one. But me.

I'll save the old introduction in this post for Old Times Sake, and write something a little more descriptive of the most recent content. (Damn, that sounds just like something I'd write at work discussing legal content....I need to turn that side of the brain off.)

RIP

"A journal about an idea I had....An urge to take a long motorcycle ride, combined with a second itch of revisiting the South...the real South....and getting some distance between me and DC. This blog is about the itch, the plans, a surprise or two, and the trip itself. Follow along as I try to rediscover the South my Mom and I used to ride through twice every year, going to and from Fort Worth, Texas. Also included are post-trip summer rides of 2010. Enjoy.

Change in Direction - Northern Comfort? Big Apple?


So now I'm thinking the next few blog posts will take a new turn as I head to the Big Apple this weekend. Seems like a better idea that letting the blog continue to collect dust. And what the hell, might as well mix it up a little. The blog has come a long way since I had that crazy idea to ride to New Orleans, hasn't it?

So about New York:

Thomson Reuters, bless its heart, is sending a crew to NYC, setting us up in very nice digs at Times Square, with a reception planned that gives us a chance to meet our colleagues from around the US and other parts of the world! Granted, after all the hand-shaking (No hugs for the girls, Ken, it's a business meeting....) we also have to do some work down in the Wall Street area one day, after which we (I) head back up for a final day in Times Square before flying home.

Folks, this sure ain't rough duty, and I'm not complaining. Details to follow, and pix as I can. This event promises to be the polar opposite of East Coast Sturgis, and I'll bet not one girl is collecting beads....Dammit.

And I have to write a hundred times on the board:
I will watch my language.
I will watch my language.
I will watch my language.
I will watch my language.
I will watch my language.
I will watch my language.
I will watch my language.
...

Stay tuned as I try to photo-journal the business side of my life..... It could be a sleeper....
