Magical Mystery Tour

I will be out of commission for a while, as I will be making several transcontinental flights this week. As much as I'd like to be able to tell my Bangladeshi post-docs idea of having Bush and Ahmadinejad just duke it out in an arena Battle Royal style to avoid a war, or how my next-door neighbor's stomach is revolting against her Indian heritage by making her sensitive to curry and tea, I'm afraid it will have to wait another day.

If you're wondering, I'm going to have a medical school interview at Louisville on Wednesday, followed by a straight trip to the Philippines, where graft and nepotism exist,but it plays in favor for my family.

This is what my schedule will be like for the next week:

Tuesday 9/25/07 4:45PM Leave Boston Logan Airport
6:30PM CST Arrive Chicago O'Hare
7:30PM Leave Chicago
10:00PM EST Arrive Louisville Airport
Wednesday 9/26/07 10:00AM Drive aunt to work
12:00 Noon Sign in at the University of Louisville School of
Medicine Office of Admissions
4:00PM Day of bliss ends
7:45PM Leave Louisville Airport
8:29PM Arrive Chicago O'Hare, again
9:20PM Leave Chicago
Thursday 9/27/07 12:30AM Arrive Boston Logan
12 Noon Leave Boston Logan, getting repetitive
2:02PM Arrive Detroit Airport
3:00PM Leave Detroit
Friday 9/28/07 10:45PM Arrive in Manila, Philippines
Saturday 9/29/07 5:00AM Leave Manila for heart of darkness in the Philippines
7:00AM Arrive in rural, feudal provinces
Thus, if you been adding this up, I'm in the air for over 30 hours this week (42 if you include the 12 hours I lose crossing the International Date Line). Which is probably the reason why I'm kissing sea level right now. At any rate, if you haven't heard any news of me leading a rebellion of syndicalists and getting myself named Grand Moff of the Philippines, I'll tell you guys how my travels went.
