Travel
Much of my professional life has been punctuated, flavored, spiced, and otherwise marked by travel. It goes with the whole consultant, speaker, writer persona I’ve cultivated (sometimes the order of those words changes), and my brief stint as an executive of a software firm did nothing to alter my airplane borne rhythms. More recently (2011 as I write) my love of travel has retreated as I have learned to savor the intricacies of Seattle and and to to dread (disklike?) the increasing unpleasantness of strapping on an airplane. What follows is a small collection of essays I wrote dating back to 1999 on some of my adventures.
