Chasing the Sun



If you read this, in all likelihood I not only arrived, but did so with little enough trouble that I warranted it worth the effort to find and connect to the interwebs. It was flight of "substantial" portions, around 11 hours. I ate two meals, including a goodly amount of beef whilst flying over Japan. There's something cute about that.

Assuming Mac Mail works "offline" like I think it does, it was also a productive flight. Some 20 outbound emails sitting in my outbox, a nearly empty inbox (well, since last syncing at 2:00pm on all of your Mondays). I listened to Cornel West, I read articles, I blew up Zombies, I listened to music, I cataloged pictures of Brian Griffith receiving tye-die socks, I blew up more Zombies. It's been good. Been glad to have the iPad and its impressive battery life, between Zombies and World of Goo.

Also, it has never gotten dark. That's a crazy thing to me. 11 hours in flight, crossing the international date line (surprise, it's tomorrow now!), being awake for some 20 hours. And it's been the same day, the same sun rising, the same bright presence, constantly. Note to self: living on the moon would blow my mind. Also, maybe Alaska. He he. Anyway, I might go send confirmation emails, or drop my wife her nth sweet note that she'll receive all at once, or blow up some Zombies or something. Hey, Seoul!

I'm getting out of the weeds and ahead of the curve[ature of the Earth!]
