Time waits for no one

Especially these days. And my time in the US is about gone. I received my Visa on Tuesday and now I leave on Saturday to move to the UK. I'll arrive in London on Sunday morning, then I have to be in Munich, Germany on Monday for meetings.

We started this process in August, so it's been a long time coming. However, now that it's here, I feel like I'm leaving a bunch of things undone.

I've come to the realization that I'm fortunate in many ways. One of which is to have many great friends and colleagues. As this assignment nears, we've had the chance to spend a lot of time with many of those friends,and have not had the time to catch up with others for various reasons. For those we have been able to spend time with, thanks for the time and friendship. For those we haven't, I really regret we weren't able to do so, but still thanks for the friendship.

I'll be pretty much on the road for the first 2-3weeks I'm in Europe, with current bookings in Germany, Spain,Scotland and Ireland. I'll post some updates from those places as time allows.

Since I'm posting this on a Thursday, it's my music quote day. A couple of things come to mind, but this one won:

The wheel is turning
and you can't slow down
You can't let go
and you can't hold on
You can't go back
and you can't stand still
If the thunder don't get you
then the lightning will

To all, I hope to see you in London soon.

Yeah, I remembered my password. James, the lyrics you wrote sound familiar, who wrote or sang that?
It reminds me of the song, Trip around the Sun, by Jimmy Buffet.

We will miss you. I know you hate leaving Diana behind for a few months, but know we'll take care of her.
