Travelin' man

I'm not sure how it has happened that I end up traveling so much ... I'd much rather sit still and relax.

Instead, here is my travel schedule for the week after next:

June 15: London to Basel, Switzerland
June 15: Basel to London
June 16: London to San Francisco
June 22: San Francisco to Seattle
June 22: Seattle to San Francisco
June 23: San Francisco to London

That's two out-and-back-in-a-single-day trips, combined with two 9-hour international flights.

I suppose as long as you keep running, the sadness can't catch you!
