I am sitting at Seatac Int'l Airport waiting for my flight to San Francisco. From that point I immediately board for Dubai, a 15 hour plus flight. Yikes!! Then I stay the night, I am sure it will be in the tallest building in the world!!! Don't you think? They have to fill it up some how.

Then at 2:45 AM Dubai time I fly to Dhaka. Where I land 5:00 PM Pacific Coast Time, which is really 11:00 AM on Thursday Dhaka time. Really great stuff! I do not know if I am flying on a plane or time traveling? Maybe there is a bit in both.

As you may know my passport with visa arrived yesterday. It required mass skills of international diplomacy. (Like the late eighties, early ninety's reference of mass skills? I knew you would.) When I recognized my challenge was going to be too much for simple diplomacy, I was forced to use the Bulgarian Waffle Flop, secret spy mind control technique. The man at the embassy must have known it was coming, since I heard aluminum foil torn off to cover his head shielding him from my prowess.

So I had to use my backup plan, contact the assistant principal in Bangladesh to send a fax to sort the confusion. And thanks to FedEx my passport arrived yesterday!

Have a great day!

  1. You know that one must be quick with the foil. If you were occupying the same time zone, you would of had him. I know that you will do great, once you get there.
