Travel

I’m going to be overseas in Thailand for two weeks visiting my son and my attendance at CA will be spotty. I’ve been a bit spotty as well the last few days both getting ready for the trip and because I was in the Ontario Doubles squash tournament – tournaments are very tiring if you’re past a certain age. They’re much more tiring than regular games because you’re keyed up. (Brian Murray and I won the 60+ category. Another M&M.)

      Re: windansea (Jan 18 10:16),

      Seconded, but take care with those curries; the International Panel for Curry Catastrophism advises that they’re getting hotter every year.

      I said something similar to that late last Saturday night.
      Two weeks of warmth – some people have all the luck. I would not spend a second at the computer!

    Have fun, and don’t miss the temples in Bangkok, the only place I have ever seen a demon chicken. No, really.

    Congrats on the squash, have a good time in Thai where some of those pretty girls are male. Why did you not go a bit further to Oz where blokes are blokes? Geoff.

      Based on recent Australian government activities, he might be banned in Australia by now.

        Sorry, I am not positive what you mean. Do you say this because he is “The Squash Man” or are there lots of ALGORE deciples in their government? (I expect that is what you mean – can you shoot me some urls to some of the latest Australian government actions to “combat AGW”, please? – thanks in advance.)

    Enjoy your trip, Steve!
    You’ve done a lot of work since the CRU email leak. You deserve some time off.

    Unfortunately I had to postpone my trip. Nothing to worry about. Just timing issues.
