Stunning days in The Hague
Kathryn and I just spent 2+ wonderful days in The Hague, which before this week I knew little of. Did one day seminar for IMS, and then explored the city. What made it particularly great was that we had recently discovered (from an article in a recent Departures magazine) a very upscale tiny hotel, Haagsche Suites, hosted by Guido and Irene van den Elshout, who go all out to provide everything from great wine to sumptious breakfast to chocolates to classical music to bicycles to advice on fabulous restaurants. They have recently renovated a gorgeous 3-story home from the 1890's, with elegant antiques, Italian bathroom fixtures, and a garden designed by a world-famous architect. And what a pleasant surprise The Hague is - very sweet, civilized, beautiful, and a manageable size. If you're into treating yourself, mid-western-Europe, look them up... (we'll certainly be back).

European jaunt
Just a hello to any readers, from the "capital of Europe" - Brussels. Kathryn and I are on a 3-week trip across the pond, half business with four seminars I'm doing for IMS (I'm a presenter on the faculty of IMS, the Institute for Management Studies). Did Edinburgh and Manchester this last week, will be conducting seminars in Brussels Monday and The Hague on Tuesday. Kathryn and I are taking the opportunity to see some places we've never been - namely Belgium, The Hague, and then we're unhooking for a full week in Paris, with nothing to do but Paris. Yumm.
This afternoon, Kathryn snapped a pic as we were walking around Bruges, on an afternoon trip over from Brussels...

My Web guru
To be complete, for those who've asked about the image/look/feel of the David Allen Company, many kudos go to Greg Fisk. Seven years ago, Greg took my seminar and after the first break began to describe what he considered unique and how it should be imaged and positioned. He, along with Eric Mack, created our first site, and Greg now still maintains it and has done all the hard work on the back end of ensuring that the functionality as well as the design were right, as we've grown and matured. With eight kids and retreated away in North Dakota, Greg still is right there all the time and a major resource for us.
