In flight

So my parents showed up to the city tonight. Their whirlwind month States tour coming to a close, they fly back to Singapore Sunday night. Eighteen hours and 45 minutes on a plane. Can you imagine? And how do meals work? You board at 11 pm, say, but are moving forward in time while flying. So, while you may think it's 5 am and are ready for a cup of coffee, it's actually 3:30 pm in the time zone you've just entered. So the flight attendant comes around with tea and crumpets? And 3 hours later you have dinner? Then breakfast 3 hours after that? There ain't enough movies in the world to keep me interested for 18 hours. Well, maybe a Law & Order marathon...

Happy Birthday to J'Nel! My girlfriend Roxie had her first baby today! Let's all send her a happy welcome to the world!

I was sorry that I missed your parents while they were in the States. But we didn't travel this Christmas - we made the masses come to us. That's the joy of having a kid. :) Anyway, hope that they are well, and you too! Much love!
