my return trip to Jozi, using gmail on my Nokia 6234 to email my blog.
It's been a whirlwind two-day business trip.
On my flight down on Sunday evening, I was standing in line waiting to
board - after trekking to a completely different gate on a completely
different floor at the last moment - reading Peter F Hamilton's Judas
Unchained, so I had the 1235 page book in my hand when I finally
boarded the plane.
There was a queue behind me and a queue in front of me.
'You're definitely not 40, are you?' says the flight attendant to me.
'Huh?'
All I can think of is that we're already delayed and there's a whole
lot of people behind me and just what is this guy smoking...
'But you'll surely be 42 by the time you finish that book!'
