It’s not that I’ve been neglecting posting lately, but I’ve just been on the move so much that I haven’t had a free moment to breathe. Here’s what happened…mid-week in London I found out that some meetings I was hoping to schedule in New York for late October couldn’t happen then. The only window was…some the following week (ie: Oct 1) and the remainder on Oct 7.
So, I landed in Israel from London on Friday afternoon just before the Sabbath, and took off 30 hours later for New York. There was just enough time to do my laundry! After the meetings in New York, I had to figure out what to do for the last days of Sukkot which are a holiday. I could have stayed in NYC, but this is rather pricey. It was cheaper to fly up to Ottawa and to visit friends than to stay in NYC. While I don’t mind NYC, I have no problem leaving either. Plus, spending Sunday out by the Governor General’s residence in a park amid the beautiful fall colors was better than any day in the concrete jungle.
So, lots of flying, little rest, and I really am ready to collapse. Back to the office today for one day.
It doesn’t end of course, because starting Sunday I’m on 2 weeks of reserve duty to take a course for my SAR team. I really need to find out what the equivalent standard English term is within the SAR community, but the course is to learn skills for analysis of searches. This ranges from techniques to question people involved in the case, such as family and friends, as well as behavioral analysis to know where to look for them.
