December 28, 2006, 2:32 am : New York, London, LA, Utah - everybody talk about….

The last month has been pretty crazy, plenty of cool things going on, along with travel to some of my favourite places in the world. London is fantastic, one of the reasons I love it so is the Tate Modern, home to one of my most beloved, humbling collections of paintings from Mark Rothko. The suite of works, originally meant to hang in the Four Seasons in NYC are now shown together, as intended by Rothko, being enjoyed by millions, rather than diners more interested in their Cobb Salads. I snuck this photo (below) and gave the Rothko’s a big set of horns cuz they ROCK.

NYC was a great trip, combining a pile of meetings with birthdays, tapings of Saturday Night Live and Letterman and seeing ‘A Chorus Line’ for the 6,246th time. The photo on the top is some cool graffiti that I HAD to get a picture with, just to remember the type and colours. The photo below is one of those weird ‘how was I in this place at this time?’ moments. I was squatting in my boss’s office and looked up and saw the Empire State Building, always a little breath-taking for a kid from North Dakota. As I was looking out, the clouds started moving, slowly at first, until they opened up this hole above the building - geez, I thought it was ‘Independence Day’, until seconds later, it was gone.

Now, writing this from the cool B&B in Salt Lake City, recovering from a day of trashing my new board and soaking up the peace and quiet of the mountains. A beautiful way to end up 2006. If you’re reading this, you’re probably one of my family or friends, so Happy, Successful, Karmically-Korrect 2007 to you all! XX Tom
