Greetings from Taipei

Courage

Hi,
Greetings from Taipei International Airport. It's 6:15 in the morning here on Wednesday. How's that for twisting your time awareness. I'm writing you from the future. And the winning lottery tickets are......
I guess the song can't be considered too obscure if three of you got it on the first day. Here's more of this sad song:
"So I asked her if she still cared. She didn't hear me, she just stared. __ __ __ __ __ __ ?" Clue: Not only did she leave, but she told him why. Ouch. Can anybody hear him?
The evening of our departure was spent with the boys. We hung out in our apartment for a while and then said our goodbyes in the driveway. It was a different kind of sad this time. Not as many tears, but the faces said it all. Maybe someday this will get easy.
The August Chronicles: With his mom working on the Bonnie Hunt Show, it was inevitable that the show would meet August. He was in heaven and before it was over, he had a job. We have some pictures of him attaching microphones to Bonnie and others. He's all about plugging things in and getting a good sound. I'll post the pics when we get home.
We had what looked like a full plane for the main segment of our trip. I slept longer than I ever have on the 14 hour flight. I suppose I could attribute that to all the running around L.A. over the last three weeks. Whatever, it certainly makes the time pass faster. (of course, that's not really true) A good nap, a couple of movies, two meals and the whole thing seems easy. (Ha)
Three hours in the Taipei airport will not be so bad since we now have 'EVA Lounge' privileges. It's a large room with very comfortable chairs, side tables, and a free buffet. There's also a game room and a relaxing room with vibrating chairs. Yum. The internet signal is strong and there are plenty of outlets, so we're quite comfortable here. It used to be that we'd have to wander the corridors, just passing the time. That would be really strange this time since most of the shops are still closed.
The biggest ordeal of this journey will be after we arrive in Bangkok. We will just miss the noon to Chiang Rai which means we have to wait seven hours for the last leg of our trip. What makes matters worse is that we don't get to use the lounge at BKK because we're not connecting on the same airline. Hmm.
If you're new to the list and are wondering about some of the names I drop from time to time, go to the blogsite and read the column on the right entitled: 'Cast of Characters'
It's time for Happy Tuesday.

Peace,
Danny
