Back in Houston for a few days, just enough time to wash clothes, shop, catch up on a few days of email, catch up on five hours of ER and West Wing, and upload photos (of a meal and Danny).

That left me with a day or two to take hundreds of photos of the immediate vicinity, painfully drag them through a serial connection to the computer, and then compile them into breathtaking Hockney-esque panoramic montages to finally give friends and family an idea of where I’ve been living since last summer.

Now, off to get the plane to London…
