Long road home

In order to get back to San Francisco to put in a whole day's work, Eric and I got up at 1am Pacific time to get a 3am Pacific time flight home from New York, which would deliver us back to the Bay Area at 9:30am.

The key here, of course, is sleeping on the plane. And the plane not pulling away from the gate a glorious 9 minutes early only to sit on the tarmac for three hours with no air conditioning. When you land 9+ hours later in the middle of the day in SF far more exhausted and dehydrated than you might have thought possible, it sort of changes the original calculus.

If you are wondering if getting up at 1am might actually impair one's ability to work a full day rather than enable it, you might be on to something. I'll have to let you know tomorrow when I can see straight once again.
