The Change

I finished my job at Publicis Modem today. I started when the company was Digitas and now, 8 years and 3 months later I am making a radical change and leaving it all behind.

I am not working for the next week. I plan to get some rest and go skiing.

Originally uploaded by roijoyObama became the 44th President of America today. And so change effectively began today, I will definitely be watching the progress on this.

In my own life I'm also embracing change. I announced my resignation in the office today and so my change too begins. My last day in the office is Thursday 29th January

Originally uploaded by roijoyWe went skiing in Tahoe this weekend. The weather was absolutely amazing. The snow was perfect and there was no wind. We skied at Heavenly. It was quite strange to be up on the mountain and look toward California and see snow then look over to Nevada and see desert!

The skiing was actually fairly relaxed and we managed to get quite a few really enjoyable runs in.
We met someone on one of the lifts who during a conversation reminded us that in the UK you have to ski on astro-slopes. After powder like this, it wouldn't even be a consideration anymore!!

Afterward we drove up to the North Lake, stopping to take in some views along a short trail around the Emerald Bay.

So It's 2009 then!

I spent New Years at our house in Belize then flew back to San Francisco to get back to work for the next 12 months of 2009. Right now we are experiencing the most beautiful weather and yesterday was spent sitting outside at a restaurant on the bayside eating deliciously fresh crab.

Today coming home fom work it was still quite balmy in the evening. Not wanting to be caught out however, I stopped in at G-Star on the way home and bought myself a new jumper for the season.

The house is oh so close to completion in Belize and basically it's just the finishes and detailed items that need to be completed now. It was nice to get on the beach too while we were out there.
