If You Come to London, Bring Your Own WiFi

Dateline London (Has a nice ring to it, no?)

My apologies to all for the blogging drought, but I will try to make up for it with a full report on my affairs in London when I return to NYC. (I arrive late-ish evening NYC time tomorrow/Tuesday, so Wednesday with any luck.)

For now, I can report with delight that the trip has exceeded my expectations on all fronts: On the business front, I have gotten tremendous enjoyment--and intellectual and professional stimulation--from my new best friends at Edge International. (Prior to this trip, the only one I could credibly claim to know reasonably well was Gerry Riskin, whose decision to pursue a career as a legal consultant deprived the world of an otherwise truly gifted stand-up comic.

An unexpected bonus was making the acquaintance of the remarkable Alan Hodgart, a McKinsey alum (and not a lawyer) who is to strategy consulting for law firms as Thomas Edison was to inventing--they don't get much better.

On the personal side, the couple of extra days I squeezed in mean that I'm now fully comfortable thinking of London as a second home, and there's tremendous emotional, cultural, and aesthetic reward in being able to notch another world-class City into one's mental image-map.

Until later, thanks for your forbearance.
