Go West Young Man

So it looks like Mike is going to be staffed in Calgary, Alberta for the next many months. He flies out tomorrow morning and comes back Wednesday night this week. He'll be meeting with the client and assuming that they want him (why wouldn't they??), he'll potentially be staffed there until at least September. I can't remember enough of the details for you Accenture folks so I will have to garner that from him at a later date and provide more information.

When I was travelling for Accenture, I started collecting coffee mugs from my destinations. I don't even know how many I have now. At one point, I remember being in 3 or 4 different cities in a week so my collection really added up. I guess I will have to live vicariously through Mike now and have him get a mug for me from Calgary.

Here's what I am drinking my coffee from this morning. I think that I got this one when Mike and I went on vacation to London and Ireland in August 1999. However, I could have gotten it when I went there for work in 2000/2001. So, I'm not sure. I haven't spent much time in London though aside from the couple of days we were there on vacation. To be honest, each time that I've been there, I've either just hung out in Gatwick waiting for a flight or had really bad jet-lag when I was actually staying overnight. I did become fairly familiar with Harrods in Duty-Free though. But I like this mug a lot - I think that the colors are pretty.


Here's a blast from the past! There aren't many people around who still work at Accenture and were there when it was Andersen Consulting (me included). Something like 5%, I think?



And I saved the best for last. My parents got this for Mike after the Longhorns beat USC in the Rose Bowl. Hook 'em, Horns!!!
