11/7 TPE to EWR via NRT

November 7, 2010

Holy shit, District 9 was fucking awesome.  Phenomenal movie:  I was on the edge of my seat with adrenaline pumping the whole time.  It’s been a LONG time since I’ve seen a movie that really kept me going from start to finish.  Fantastic.  Like they say in NYC:  fanTAS-tic. We’re over the Aleutian Islands right [...]

11/4 at Starbucks on Zhonxiao Road near Dunhua Road

November 4, 2010

Well, the conference is over.  I have a meeting with my contacts at Wistron Corp. tomorrow afternoon.  The rest of today is free, as is most of the day tomorrow.  I took the MRT (Taipei metro/subway) to the Zhonxiao-Dunhua station (the blue Bannan line from Taipei Main Station) and walked over to Eslite, which is [...]

Still in Taiwan

November 3, 2010

And so ends the first day of the Asian Corporate Governance Association conference for me – almost.  Good lord, I’m exhausted.  I know it’s 6:20PM, but I think part of me still thinks it’s 6:20AM.  I was up at 4AM (local time) this morning – wide awake.  I manged to get my ass back to [...]

We’re in the Great White North now, flying just over the Northeast corner of the Hudson Bay.  12:22 left in the flight – hours/minutes, that is.  34k feet, 1621 miles traveled so far.  We’ll be landing in Hong Kong (still 6640 miles away) at 7:14PM local time.  I’m not going to say that I want [...]

The Incredible Distance Between Sleeping and Waking

October 28, 2010

“It’s okay,” she says.  ”It’s okay.  You were just dreaming.” That’s how it starts.  Every time. Then she tells me, “You were screaming.” I don’t remember screaming.  But maybe I was.  Maybe that journey between sleep and waking is so much that I can’t help but scream.  Maybe it’s just that long.  I look up.

No Lions or Tigers, Thank Goodness

October 14, 2010

On my hike last weekend I bumped into a bear.  I was moving pretty quickly and didn’t see him.  He turned around and shoved me.  ”Watch where you’re going, dickbag,” he said.  I thought it was a bit weird that a bear was talking to me, but I excused myself politely and, stepping aside, attempted [...]

Two Thursdays Ago Zen

October 5, 2010

Normally, I like to save the pages from my Zen-a-Day calendar to which I’m particularly attracted.  However, in tearing off the page two Thursdays ago, I accidentally tore the page in half.  It’s been sitting on my dresser in two pieces for a while now and I’ve thusfar been able to resist the urge to [...]

Puppy Puppy Puppy

September 27, 2010

Ok, so I’m sorta tired, but not necessarily in the physical sense.   If you’re just tuning in, I posted the trip report from Saturday’s night hike below.   You can also find it here at the forum, if you want to read the comment thread of chop-busting. I’ve been thinking about getting a puppy [...]

Thanks and Good Night

September 17, 2010

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who will be helping transport RedCloud up to Heather this weekend.  I’ll be taking care of the NJ legs and am looking forward to having a dog ride shotgun again (if only for the day and unless he decides to sleep in the back).  Thanks especially to Chris Shammel and Shannon [...]
