I've finally settled in back at home.

I spent most of November trekking around the US -- Phoenix, Philadelphia, Washington DC and New York. Then straight off the plane to an off-site meeting (for work) up on the Central Coast for the first week back.

On my US sojourn I saw some great sites, went to some fantastic sporting events, ate a heck of a lot of food (New York keeps getting better every time I go there in this respect), and spent some quality time with friends and family. An early Thanksgiving with the family in Philly (which took a couple of days of prep) was a highlight.

But man o man, if I needed some diet and exercise before I left for the US, I really need it now. Damn you beer! Fortunately it's summer time!

Looking forward to catching up with folks during a few weeks off over Christmas, as well as getting to plenty of Sydney Festival events in January.
