England in the spring is so lovely. Right now it stays light until 8:30-9:00 at night. In June/July it will start staying late until almost 10:00. This extended day is so welcome after the winter when it's dark, grey, cold, and rainy all day long. I'm sitting with my living room window open and I'm drinking a glass of white wine. I'd take a picture of the green outside, but I just checked my camera and it is out of batteries.
In about a week I'm going to Lugano, Switzerland for an annual meeting for a Swiss/German private equity firm. I have mixed feelings about this. One, I'm really excited b/c I've never been to Southern Switzerland/Northern Italy and it's supposed to be a beautiful area of the world. However, when I go to these meetings I always feel like I'm playing the Seasame Street game "one of these things is not like the other". It's usually about 10% women and I'm using the youngest person there by about 15 years. I try not to let it bother me, but I usually have quite a time making small talk. This one will be particulary difficult b/c it's a longer event. We even get to tour one of their portfolio companies which is a salami factory. The only reason that I'm going to this event is b/c 5 people "ahead" of me couldn't attend.
OH! Jed and I have a date for the wedding. On December 29 2007 I'll be Claire Atkins. :) CBA. I'm kinda sad to see my middle name Larson leave.
