Finally in London!

Well, it almost took me as long to get here as it took Lindbergh to cross the Atlantic!

My 910 am flight was delayed for mechanical reasons, and re-scheduled until 430. Instead of standing in a long line for 2 $5 meal vouchers I decided to go home, and then back to the airport.

The flight finally left about 5 pm, and it was fine, but I developed a terrible headache along the way - suspect it was due to sleep deprivation.

When I finally got to the hotel around 10 am I slept (badly) for about 5 hours, then showered and took a walk. The hotel is right next to the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge, so it's a very historic area - - and very cool. To think of all the history those stones have seen!

I just had dinner in the hotel (not very good, but the food in general in England is not very good), and am in my room - dealing with my laptop that crashes about every hour thanks to the great new encryption software the bank made us all download. It couldn't have happened at a worse time.

Anyway, tomorrow I'm going over to my friend Scott's house and staying there for the night; he'll drive me into the office on Monday. I really like him and his wife and it will be fun to spend time with them.

Hope the weather improves - it's cold and raining.

That's all for today.

A.
