packed

Amazing how the power of saying "No" to people and sticking to your
planned schedule. Since Sunday I have stuck to my schedule that meant
skipping the China Gaming Conference which I signed up for. It was
suppose to be one whole date of seminar on Sunday; but the it was
split to two days one day before I planned on attending. The speaker
should have planned better for his flight from the States. So I
didn't go otherwise, I would have fallen yet again behind in my stuff.

I've done my accounting, prepped for WebEx teaching, fixed up stuff
around the apartment, called NorthWest, packed for the North American
trip to named a few. Man, I was never felt so organized and
accomplished.

Speaking of packing, I have my computer roll bag and a small hand
carry bag for my trip. Yes, so compact. Couldn't pull it off without
some recent technologies. My Patagonia vest, make of hi-teck material
good for -10C at least, I can stuff it into a small pouch. Air
compression bags for my warm yet hi-tech socks, shirts, you name it.
Can't say I will be losing my bags by the Airline. Since I am not
flying AC mini-bus coming in, I am good. Heading back to Asia will be
a different story.
