Dude.  Third night, straight up.  Got maybe three hours of sleep yesterday afternoon, in snatches.  I’d wake up with my computer in my lap.  Listen, I’m going to pay for it this weekend—but it’s worth it now.  My theme this … [Read more...]

“The power of imagination makes us infinite.” - John Muir The finger is infected.  And I got the stitches pulled out today, which hurt almost worse then cutting myself in the first place.  I’m wearing a band-aid and one of those gauze finger tubes, … [Read more...]

Have the spent the whole day writing, catching up on email and making calls, and then writing, writing, and writing some more.  I’m grateful that all the dogs and cats seem to remember who I am - and actually care that I’ve come home.  One exception:  … [Read more...]

Working hard.  I’m flying home in a couple of hours.  Had a wonderful time in Shanghai, as usual—and plan on returning in several months (sooner the better).  More adventures to report on later —one of them remarkable, once in a lifetime—but … [Read more...]
