Back "Home"!

London shop window with a mannequin dressed in an array of fruit

I do love London and feel fully at home; I’ve been coming over here since serving a summer stint as a midshipman in the Royal Navy in 1965. I gave two speeches at the London Business Forum today, and have another two ticketed tomorrow. How I made it through, I don’t know. Though still suffering bigtime from jetlag, I nonetheless stayed up, tracking every pitch in Game 4 of the World Series—Jonathan Papelbon’s capper occurred at 4:08 a.m. Greenwich time, just 37 minutes before my wake-up call. It’s a long way from my new Kubota in Tinmouth, VT, to the shop windows of London being dressed on Sunday—see above.
