... cocoon-like chairs that lay down flat..but alas, I couldn't talk my way to an upgrade on a frequent flyer mile free ticket. Plus then I wouldn't have met my seatmate, Surpat--he was a university professor coming home to Bangkok, so he left me with lots of tips and his card to call in case of trouble. Arriving in Bangkok at 6:30 am, customs, etc was very orderly--it wasn't until my cab drove into downtown Bangkok that the chaos ...

... requesting that he be present for an interview on the 16th at 10 a.m. This is a very good opportunity for Janis, so he had to take it. I am not sure what we will do in Denver, but once again, we will figure it out. Janis leaves tomorrow afternoon to SFO and returns back to Denver on the 17th.

... commenced a year or so of traveling in the US and in Europe and maybe some other places, too. The plan is to work along the way in cool places and to take breaks in between. Since I will be working in cool places, I am going to consider both working and nonworking times as travel.
