“The traveller’s-eye view of men and women is not satisfying. A man might spend his life in trains and restaurants and know nothing of humanity at the end. To know, one must be an actor as well as a spectator.”-Aldous Huxley.
On this trip I am going to try to do both. On a trip I do not want to make. For at least the next few days I will be my secret bunker near Spike’s place-and that I always like!
After that though it is a descent into the wells of mediocrity to work on my Korea project and contemplate again the morass I have gotten myself into and seek further my escape strategy.
So its time to gird up my loins with beer and prepare for the struggle ahead. In the meantime I will make a challenge to you. Guess how many times I will ride the MTR and I will donate 5 dollars a time in your name to Valour IT.-for the Navy team. Closest to the pin wins! Go for it and help make me spend money. Guesses have to be posted in the comments box by 6 pm JST Saturday.
“…the next few days…”? That is the one and only clue? Retreating to the igloo for the time being to formulate answer, with your permission.
Ten…Best
Sir,
Welcome back …looking forward to your insights. Sanity and rational thought are always well received breaths of fresh air. Your folks having been doing great things and are a testament to your Command.
Deborah,
I’ll give you won more hint. Think college football not pro when I am in the departure lounge.
I get home Thursday night. Not sure if I’m around for the weekend or not but drop me a line if you want to hook up for a beer or something.
Spike,
I will drop you a line. Hope to see you.
16 trips.
Thank you for the extra hint and I do hope that at some point you’re able to have a wee bit of fun…or just more beer.
P.S. Although unrelated, at some point I would be most interested in your take on the announcement by the Air Force, during a time of war, to scuttle the F-15 fleet.

The answer is ’42’

Wrong question
