The weather outside here at MSP is very Dutch-like today. It's cool and misty with more than a little late fall in the air. It feels like Amsterdam.
I won't be going this year and I'm both relieved and disappointed. We're taking 2 airplanes this year and the way the schedule works the person going over would have to be over there for 9 days. With other work committments and hockey committments I find it difficult to justify pulling myself away from home for that long.
I'll miss the morning dutch coffee and the evening Heineken's. I won't miss the ever present battles between our two companies. I guess it's a wash. It'll be strange since this will be the first time since 2002 that I haven't been there.
Damn.
