I have formed a uniquely bad habit. I miss Olympic parties on a hemispheric scale. I was in London when Sydney was dazzling the world with the best Olympics of the modern era and I am in Sydney while London ups the ante. I blame my Aussie mrs for these misses. She seduced me to stay in London in 2000 when I’d had every intention of enjoying the Sydney party and brought me to live here recently when I was gearing up for the 2012 knees-up in London’s East End where I not only lived but where I’d spent much of the previous fifteen years working for the renewal of East London, helping to bring the Olympics there along the way. It’s all about timing at this level.
