and so

It's already second week into the last and busiest month of the year...

... with the daytime being shortest in the year; almost eight o'clock and it's still dark outside...

... which makes you even more appreciate the pale blue sky with pink clouds that emblazes the beggining of a day.

For my first few days here, it was all gray and dull, which felt even more so especially after those California blue skies, but we've had some brighter moments in the last couple of days or so. And so, I went out to get some fresh air and catch the blue skies - while they're still there...












... because the blue sky would be short lived... so is the daytime; time to go home.

I've managed to catch up with some friends here, over dinner and/or drinks...

... yeah you're busy, I'm busy, everyone's busy... who isn't?

... and I'd cap off the day with a glass of mulled wine, the taste of winter... a reminder that Christmas is indeed around the corner; before I know it, it will be 2007. And yet, life goes on.

... And so does my voyage.
