8.15am Woke up. Susan out the door by 8.30am. Cold and sunny out.
8.40am Thought I'd blog for an hour (a good habit to get into: blog for an hour right after Susan leaves in the morning) and then bake some biscotti before meeting with Charlie for lunch at the Anchor & Hope.
As it turned out, I updated 'Writing on the Road' blog until noon. I'm nominally caught up -- I have an entry for every date, even if it's only a title/summary of the day's activities. I'd like to add a photo per day. It makes it so much more alive. It would be nice to tell some more stories as well... and fill in some memory gaps (it's an odd feeling, drawing a complete blank on a whole morning or afternoon).

Lunch with Charlie at Anchor & Hope -- venison & pate & red endive salad. Followed by walk along the Thames in golden afternoon light to Westminster tube. Came across dissolving Student March, leaking across the bridge onto the Southbank from Parliament Square or Trafalgar Square or somewhere.
Charlie's last two years:
- Mali in Jan 2009
- 6 month contract with Fox-Pitt (implementing or managing a FactSet Portfolio Analysis project, I think)
- Sept 6, 2009: Embarked on John O'Groats to Lands End walk (the 1,100 miles JOGLE). Made it to Edinburgh before her leg started hurting badly and the doctor told her she probably had a stress facture, which wouldn't necessarily show up on an x-ray anyway, and to stay off it.
- Returned home to figure out what to do instead
- Trip to Afghanistan
- Family geneaology
- Trip to Kyrgystan?
- April 2010: Picked up walk in Edinburgh
- Nov 15, 2010: Starts job with head-hunter
