D minus 7.5

Just over a week from now I am embarking on what I know will be one of my most interesting adventures in my short life span ... a visit to my WONDERFUL little girl's new locale (at least for the last 16 months), Seoul Korea. I am stopping once in China for some reason rather than a direct flight to Seoul. I am not really sure what we will do together but I know the adventure will be action-packed. The World Cup final at 1:30AM Monday July 12 is the only thing definite so far. Naomi mentioned she knows at least one person who will be doing the same so it should be interesting. With Brasil gone it should be interesting.

The locals have a habit that we sure could benefit from in North America. They grab 40 winks many days during the 11:30-1:00 lunch hour. Many have folding cots similar to a pool chair we use at home. Out it comes, and they disappear for however long they can until stupid ferenge makes too much noise and they get up. The cot is then folded up and work re-commences. When they are napping, it is easy to think I am alone in the office. I have to remember this the next time so I don't do anything stupid that I would not do were I not "alone" ... stupid ferenge. The air conditioning does not come on until 7:30 and shuts itself down after the end of day chimes at 4:30. I am going to take a cot with me to the next after-hours meeting I am fortunate enough to attend.
