Early morning walk for the dogs.

I'm having a good run this week and will be back in the Executive Suite. This is me 40 years ago at an Eritrean rebel medical conference. We had to stop for a while when Ethiopian MIGs attacked nearby.

It's a permanent Museum of Aboriginal Art, the largest outside Australia. Brilliant.

I just visited the Kruge-Ruhe Aboriginal Art Museum at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. It's the largest such museum outside of Australia. A brilliant initiative by UVA.

Exactly 13 years ago, I took this stunning photo of the female members of a nomadic Arab family near the border of Chad and Central African Republic. The world is an amazing place.
