AM - 5 miles on the treadmill at the airport hotel in Auckland NZ.  It was 4 am and I did not see a reasonable running area outside with the roads around the airport.  Early flight.  So the treadmill had a virtual running route video - which happened to be in Auckland. Kinda interesting that I was running both literally and virtually in Auckland.  

Heading home today.  Flight connection in Brisbane Australia.   When I leave there it will be 11 am Friday morning and when I arrive in LA it will be 7 am Friday morning.  Time for second breakfast.  #timetravel.

I'm dizzy just from reading about it... good luck getting through the time tunnel.

You are now officially some sort of weird, future human!

The post nicely speaks to the peculiarities of contemporary digital space in the first section, and the temporal disorientation of business travel. And during the same week as daylight savings time. Eh, boy.

Safe travels.

Why I never leave the Salt Lake Valley.
