Home Again

Arrived home again mid-morning yesterday. As a result of not sleeping very well at all on the flight, I crashed yesterday afternoon, so my sleep cycle's a bit screwed up at the moment. Unfortunate, but unavoidable.

Trip home was reasonably uneventful, although we were just over three hours late leaving New York, which had all sorts of impacts for people making connections to other flights to Australia in LA (they didn't make them and stayed on our flight instead). Sat next to an IBM project manager from NY to LA and a Microsoft employee from LA to Sydney. Intelligent conversation with both. Didn't get a chance to check the latter's iPod for any James Brown tracks, so don't know if he had any soul left.

Matt Damon is smaller in real life than I expected (he was on our flight and I saw him in the lounge before we left, too).

I am a long way behind on email, once I combine the weekend influx with various threads I was intentionally not responding to last week (to avoid saying things I might regret later). So if you're expecting anything from me, please wait a day or two and ping again on, say, Wednesday if you've heard nothing.
