24 - the adventure




Here is my version of 24. The Adventures of Jack Bauer

Not an attempt to save the world from certain peril, but rather a long trip back from China so I can make a meeting in Minneapolis on Wednesday. This is all presented in Eastern Standard Time

Saturday Night 6:00PM EST (Sunday Morning 6:00AM Shanghai Time)

6:00PM Phone Alarm goes off

6:05PM Front Desk calls ensuring that I am awake

6:30PM Finish S,S&S (Shit, Shower, & Shave for those who don’t know acronyms)

6:40PM Check-out - pay bill & order Ham, Cheese Omelet (Multi-Tasking)

6:55PM Grab cab for 1hour ride to Pudong Airport

10:00PM Take off from Shanghai to Narita Tokyo Japan

12:37AM Arrive Narita Airport

2:00AM Sitting in the Club checking emails, reading (cant call no one is up at this hour) Blogging - So the following is future tense, rather than past tense, although I am posting it for auto in the farther future. This is all so very confusing and complicated. I remember when life was simpler, 3 stations on a B&W TV with one beamed in from Canada on UHF channel 50. Two pairs of shoes 1 Dress, 1 Sneaker. One pair of Jeans. Etc, Etc. We have evolved as a species!
4:20AM Board Detroit Flight from Narita

5:15AM Take off for 12 hour flight

In flight – movies, meals, book, magazines, music, Trip Notes, and To Do List and then my Sleep Meds = Dewars Scotch (3)

2:45PM Arrive Detroit – hopefully clear customs with my ill-gotten-booty-knock-off-stuff – Skip the next flight to Cleveland – My lovely bride is meeting me in Detroit for a nice 2 hour drive. Should be home by 6:00PM. - Which makes this a 24 hour adventure....... ADDED (Well instead of heading for Cleveland - we headed north to party with my wife's family and enjoy a great meal with a few pops to finish off a great week. Thanks R&J. We finally made it home @ 10:00PM - Fell asleep at 12:30. Awoke at 3AM, 5AM and finally 6AM S,S & S - Loaded up my Scooter and off to work, while stopping for an omelet, going to try and put in at least a half day.) ........ And the World Continues to be safe from all harm!

Washington DC 4th Grade Class

Well Super Tuesday as blown out of proportion by the talking heads, is over .... 24/7 news creates the need for every issue to be HUGE!!!! I could not even sleep last night because I, like all the Anchors was so excited (oh my goooooddd.......in my best feminine voice). Anyway, to stay on a political theme I submit for your approval ...... or not ...... a copy of the following un-retouched photo for your examination. Let's not let this happen again to the DC area ...... have the children not suffered enough?
Look Very closely. HA HA
