Now it feels like I'm heading toward home. My stuff is all together, I've got a good week of work to do here, and the next time I get on a plane, its not going to be an interim stop, but rather the trek back home. I still have to find some scotch for Charles, as that was his requested business trip gift. The selection here is a little overwhelming.

The weather turned a bit nasty here, so it was a disappointment to leave sunny Munich and land in a gale in Edinburgh. Hopefully my morning commute will be a dry one. Another disappointment was coming to a quiet corner of the bar, only to have a loud-talker pick the table next to mine. *grumble*

Oktoberfest was a blast as always, though this is the first time I didn't get into the tent. I don't think I missed too much, other than 9 euro liters of beer, and some racous singing. Franz and I walked through the midway, snapped some of the costumes, had some food, and made a break back to familiar territory, pretty much intact. The sun was shining, and it was a great day, all told.
