So by the time you read this, I’ll be in Boston.

Snowy Boston.

Snowy and bloody freezing Boston.

While I’m here for a meeting, the best bit is I’m going to see the absolutely wonderful Freddie Sarnblad.

I’ve not seen this man for 5 and a half years, and while he probably wishes it was a lot longer, seeing him is going to make Boston’s harsh weather seem like LA.

There’s some people you work with where you just connect on a deeper level.

Where close colleagues become real friends.

And that’s what he is to me, even if there has been years between our times together.

One of the best things about having lived in multiple countries is the fact you meet people you might otherwise never meet. And when you meet those folks in countries like Singapore – a place that is very transient for foreigners – it means you often meet up in totally different places than where you started.

I think that’s an amazing gift.

Something that lets you feel connected to the World in ways few ever truly get to realise, let alone appreciate.

Which is why these next couple of days are very precious for me, even if the weather looks like it’s straight out the movie, ‘The Day After Tomorrow’.

So because of all this, you get a couple of days off from reading my rubbish.

Enjoy it, because it will be back … unless Freddie still hasn’t forgiven me for this.
