Out of Alexandria
// November 2nd, 2005 // Travel
I’ve been living very nicely in my North-African abode, fronting the Mediterranean and contemplating the metaphysics of ancients. I would use the world hermit, except hermits don’t usually go in for weekends partying in Africa’s biggest city- Cairo. Nonetheless, compared to the previous years things have been pretty sedentary.
Until today that is, the second of November and anniversary of the maiden flight of the Spruce Goose, when I was told that the next stage in applying for a position I’ve been after is an interview in the fare city of Amsterdam. This put me into a spin.. A spin only to be redoubled when later today it turned out that I would be chairing a leadership conference in Germany around this date and would thus need to leave even sooner. In less than a week the Wonders of Egypt will fall into a kindly kept memory and high held hope of return.
