September 1st means two things: Carnival in London, and the marking of summer’s imminent departure.

Here in Southern California, our summer is just getting under way after a rather delayed start. Sitting in my workroom on this quiet Monday morning, I realise that I have not traveled this year at all–nowhere! Those who know me best are aware that I am an adventurer at heart, and kindly indulge me as I lament my lack of foreign excursions.

2014 continues to amaze. I am being swept along in a wave of productivity of late that I simply cannot give any resistance to, and why would I? Chefchaouen, Rajasthan, and Provence shall still exist next year of that I am certain, but my new office in Korea Town needs decorating now–YIKE$!

Saying “yes” to everything.
