While deleting the usual 50 unwanted e-mails from my personal account, I spotted a lonely little e-mail from Neil. We go back a long way - all the way back to 2000. After a shortish international affair that included a trip to London and some gifts of La Perla lingerie, we settled into a writer/editor relationship. He writes white papers that feature the world's longest sentences, and I go in and shorten them.
Seems that Neil will be in Dallas tonight and tomorrow, as he will be presenting a talk on what was formerly described as data warehousing Friday before returning home. Earlier this year, he took some time off and traveled through some remote parts of Asia, including Vietnam.
While I'm not sure if he'll make a pass at me or not this evening, and I'm not sure how I'd respond, I'd like to hear about his Asian travels. So we'll see.
