A Week in the Life: Friday – Exit, Pursued by a Bear

Posted on May 25, 2012 by

Again, I woke up late.  By which I mean, 10am.  I’d been arguing with The Englishman until late, about the stupid car thing. Why my opinion mattered to him was beyond me. Just buy your Aston Martin and admit you’re … Continue reading →

Posted on May 24, 2012 by

I woke up late (again) to sunlight streaming through the sheers of my hotel in Madrid.  I’d cracked the window open the night before, and the morning sounds from the street were wafting up into my room. It was still … Continue reading →

A Week in the Life: Treacherous Tuesday

Posted on May 22, 2012 by

I nearly didn’t wake up on time.  I was saved by a ping — my American mobile phone beeping and buzzing with successive text messages.  It was Tink, updating me on plans and logistics for an upcoming visit.   But it … Continue reading →

A Week in the Life: Sunday – One Freak on Foot

DNF

Flight Attendant

Posted on April 29, 2012 by

I left for Shanghai on Saturday morning, after a fitful, feverish Friday sleep. I am a notorious non-sleeper — my body does not require a ton of it.  If I go to bed too early, nine times out of ten … Continue reading →

Adaptation

Posted on April 24, 2012 by
