GOT IT!!

I was up and at 'em this morning at 7:45 am despite not being able to get to sleep til about 3:30-4 this morning - I guess you don't need sleep when life is so exciting and you're given new opportunities to live the dream every day.

I ran a few errands early, sent a few emails and bought a book I needed for class. Around 10 am I went to grab a quick to-go breakfast at a joint next to my house to enjoy over my new book The World is Curved: Hidden Dangers to the Global Economy.*

I wasn't gone but 5 minutes and on my way back I saw the postman getting into his truck leaving my front door. I ran to catch up with him, expecting my passport any day now, and managed to get his attention. It was indeed the Passport. Good stuff. This picture was taken on my BlackBerry so it's not the best in the world. I promise that when I get a new camera the pictures that I'll be posting here will be significantly better.

I'll be purchasing my ticket here in a few minutes and will be posting an itinerary. 'Til then,

Miles.


* This book is a response or addition to The World is Flat: A Brief History of the 21st Century by Thomas Friedman. It's a pretty good read so far. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to know how we got into this financial mess and what to expect and not expect in the future. Or to anyone who is thoroughly convinced that globalization is a good thing. Not that I think it's not but there are two sides to every coin. This subject is for another post on another blog though.
