Tessa accompanied Tim as he was driven across the country to RAF Duxford yesterday, for a photo-shoot, the results of which appear in today’s News of the World. An interview here. Among the delights we discussed this morning were a Catalina (one of my favourite aircraft) and a Mustang (which he flew in WWII), plus he was able to scramble into the Spitfire (ditto), though with a bit more effort than would have been the case 70 years ago.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
