So I'm sitting at a food court at the Taipei International Airport which is located on the small island of Taiwan and I’m typing away on my computer when I notice that im doing my own karaoke version of Mandy by Barry Manilow.  Once I came to my senses I realized that I was just singing along with what was playing throughout the airport.  I know that most of you find it disturbing that I was singing a Manilow song, so to you I extend thousands of apologies...

Which brings me to my next point/question - By singing a Manilow song, am I getting old (but Manilow was big before I could even talk!) or am I subconsciously a Barry Manilow fan.  Both points are scary yet very, very possible...

Most of you are wondering why I'm sitting in a Taiwan airport...  long story, ill tell you all about it very soon...  anyways I'm off to sunny Florida but getting there will be a field trip on its own... I left Okinawa to fly west to Taiwan, from Taiwan I will fly east to LAX after a 2 hour lay over I will be off to Houston and then I will finally get to fla...  I still don't understand how this happened all I know is that I left Japan at 7:30 pm local time on April 25th and will be arriving in Tampa at 1am  on April 27th (still Japan time)...  oh well - I may be traveling like a mad man but as long as I have Manilow, Ill be alright...
