Flying By...
Geez, summer flew by fast. Heck, an entire year flew by fast. Looking back, I'm able to count four new roommates since I left college. Four weddings and a funeral. Six visits to Stanford and the Bay Area. As hard as it was to fathom back then, life does feel more fast-paced after college.
Anyway, my main reason for posting is to say I'm now in Hong Kong for business. Local time is 10:50am, September 1. Blogger tells me that Seattle time is 7:50pm, August 31. My biological clock doesn't give a crap for either fact, because I destroyed it back in school anyway. I've been in HK for twelve hours now and I just hope my luggage arrives soon, because a change of clothes would be nice.
Oh, and for the record, business class on Cathay Pacific is sweet. (In case you're wondering, it was a different airline that left my luggage behind in Seattle.)

Here's our Airbus A340-300 pulling into the gate at Vancouver prior to boarding:
And this was after boarding:
A "Cathay Delight" kiwi and coconut juice cocktail and scallop hors d'oeuvre. Even the neighboring glass of water looks good.
And all this was after, yes, the pre-flight champagne.
I decided to stop taking pictures, lest everyone identify me as that guy who had clearly never before flown international business class.
