First full day in Korea. Good work day. Very jetlagged. But let’s think about.
Didn’t get out and explore very much we were with the client from 8 AM till 10 pm. two more days of that,
I really like them. So smart and so hard-working. 7 PM everyone still at the desks. Had an amazing meal at the cafeteria at 7 o’clock
Not too many pictures to share allowed to use them in the clients office. Here’s what I gotten beyond that

I finally feel restored. I’ve been more or less off work for 10 days now.. and I’m just beginning to feel human again.. When I say more of less.. most of those days I spent less than 3 hours working.. for some reason , the forced urgency of work insisted that I take this or that call…. are do this or that piece of work… Luckily, most of that even dropped away since thanksgiving.. and it’s been down to less than an hour a day to keep up with email since. … it’s amazing when you step away from it.. even partially, how silly it is to be that busy for no apparent reason or benefit. it’s no one else s fault.. if anyone.. we have ourselves to blame…. by accepting the artificial urgency we become part of the problem.. kicking off emails to coworkers asking for their input when they should be kicking back playing with their kids or dogs or wives or workshops or whatever.. Most folks I work with are in this same endless treadmill..
I’m grateful for the time away.. and the perspective to be able to stop and think.. I have to admit.. I haven’t done that in a while..
There’s a rumor that Turkey has an abundance of the amino acid tryptophan that is supposed to make you tired after eating it.
I would say that’s my excuse… But I didn’t eat any turkey. I’m just tired.
We did have a nice sleepy day. We drove back from Montreal midday and went and visited our old friends Dave and Hannah at talent skatepark . Talent is having a great sale today so if you missed it today check it out tomorrow.
Those guys have been such good friends … They still have the board that everyone signed for Sam right in front of the door as you come in
