My Journal

My week back in the US was great! Playing with the kids was awesome. My wife needs a pedestal for being the head-of-house, chief-driver, class-mom, primary-care-giver and doctor-extraordinaire. I finally powered through jet lag on Thursday afternoon with a final nap just in time to leave on Friday morning for China, still unclear of what time zone I was actually in. I got to spend Thursday afternoon at my son’s soccer game on a picture-perfect fall day, with little clouds in the sky. It is a great memory as I exited the plane on a smoky, humid Saturday afternoon in Beijing after 25+ hours of traveling. Going back and forth to the US twice in 3 weeks is not something that I would advise anyone to do. It was worth it to see family and friends, but my mind and body are not synchronized. It will be interesting to see how long it takes me to recover from Jet Lag after this trip.
