Jet Lag

So here’s the latter part of my week…

  • Wednesday morning I fly to San Francisco, arriving via Minneapolis at about 1pm local time.
  • As soon as I land I have to dial into a conference call, and find the BART to get to a meeting just outside of SF at 3pm.
  • From there I go straight to a dinner meeting back in SF, and then check into my hotel.
  • Thursday I have a pre-meeting and morning commute on the way back to SF and then a day full of meetings.
  • Following that, there’s a dinner event that goes until 8:30.
  • I’ll sneak out of that early to catch an 8:45 flight to Seattle, arriving around 11pm and checking into my hotel there.
  • Friday I’m scheduling an early morning lab on the main campus, followed by a day long meeting, of which I will attend less than half.
  • My flight from Seattle leaves at 12:50 and gets me into Toronto at 10:16pm local time. I won’t sleep well that night because of the time change!
  • I’ll be up at 6am (which will feel like 3am) on Saturday for Men’s Breakfast at the church, which I’ll sneak out of early to get to Seminary class for 9am.
  • Class goes until 5ish, at which point I’ll go home to see my family while they’re awake… before I pass out!

In there somewhere I’ll be doing my homework, writing a phone app, and very glad that Nicole is handling most of the house selling, kid managing effort!
All this, and I guarantee I’ll be bored again by the middle of next week Smile with tongue out

Halloween 2010

Ben has a little neighbourhood friend named Tegan, who goes to pre-school with him. This year Tegan was dressing up as Optimus Prime, so we agreed that Benjamin should be Bumblebee (not a bumblebee, the Bumblebee – the Autobot Transformer!) so they could trick-or-treat together. Abigail was an assorted Disney princess. Glitter is still all over our house.

We did “trunk-or-treat” at the church, then a couple dozen houses in the neighbourhood. Mommy and daddy will have candy for weeks now!
