SCC goes back to Buda!

Delayed post...pictures of sunny Budapest

Here I go again, Budapest for the 3rd time. It really is a nice city, especially in the spring.

We had a very nice afternoon in the city, the weather was beautiful, it was a great day to visit the Cathedral, Hungary's national church.

Buda Castle at night.

SCC in NYC!

Statue of Liberty! We had 3 free hours in NYC and took the ferry to see the Statue of Liberty. While it was enjoyable the whole experience made me feel like part of a herd of cattle as you line up to get tickets, line up to get on the boat, line up to get off the boat, then to go up the statue, then off the statue, then back on the boat and then off of the boat, the whole time having Port Authority people yelling at you (move ahead now, move ahead now). It really gives you a nice Livestock experience.

Crazy light fixture at the hotel where we stayed, not sure what to call this (Western-ironic-chic, caribou-deco?) I'm not too up on my design terms, I'll work on that.

SCC Posts Pictures of House!

Finally, in response to popular demand, here are some pictures of our new place. Trying to take pictures represented a little challenge as it really is a tall, narrow structure so getting a wide view is not really possible...in any case this should give inquiring minds and idea of what it's like:

























Look up, waaay up...it's our front door!



















The view from our kitchen, you can see the nice construction project as well as views of downtown SJ.



















Blue room, our first house painting experience.



Views of the park from the bedroom window



The den...very orange in this picture.




And our empty living room, lots of natural light!

OK, that's the quick tour, have a good one! More post to come, another trip coming up this weekend so I'll send pictures as I go.

Supply Chain Commander Returns to Blog!

Hello? Anyone there? Okay, when I said I was going to rest after my last post I didn't really expect to take 6 months off from writing but I guess that I did. What can I say, we bought a house and I didn't really want to add another blog about Real Estate to the WWW, it's quite a process. In any case, Supply Chain Commander has returned to command new supply chains!...or at least try to control the one I've got.

I haven't done as much traveling recently but I noticed that one of the last posts I made I put a picture of the view from my hotel room at the Hilton Budapest. My last business trip was to Minneapolis, where I also stayed at a Hilton and had this view:

Just thought I would share that, if anyone is out there actually checking this blog anymore.

Later,

Brian
