Random things that don't suck!

On the Way to Africa

Had a 15+ hour flight from Atlanta to Joburg which was the smoother than I thought it would be. Actually got some sleep. Having settled a bit, it’s obvious the wifi access will be so so. You have to get vouchers and lots of local corks. I doubt we’ll see coffee shops with free wifi. But there is access all over, and that’s pretty great.

Will I try to actually work though? Clearly, I can’t get off e grid on a sporting trip. That and I have an addiction problem. There, I said it! As for work, I did sit next to an old couple who were, you guessed it, AARP members. They’re on their way to a big hunt so no connection to world cup. Oh well. But I did get lots of advice… You cant sleep and watch movies for all of the 15 hours!
So the short story is, if I see some seasoned world cup fans, I may actually whip out the AARP card and go for the work angle. 
As for my work, digital and screen addictions… That’s for another trip to deal with. Likely a clinic!!
