I will not be staying up to see which team will be eliminated on Amazing Race. I will have to find out on demand.

I am visiting my family and the idea of using headphones when listening to content on their phones is a foreign concept to each and every one of them. 😞

There have been professional level fireworks going off in the near distance for 10 mins … not sure why though.

We haven’t left the gate yet on this flight and the woman behind me is already snoring 😴 Thank goodness for noise canceling headphones.

I’ve come to realize that I would be a people’s person if it weren’t for, well, people. Dealing with the ways of other people gets in the way of me being a people’s person. 🤔

Border control and immigration are such red herrings. Let me distract them over here, over this, while I rob them over there, time and time again. They will fall for it every time.

If there is one things that I could live without for the rest of my life it is self-serve buffet. Too many people lack basic food hygiene skills.

We are still in the southern hemisphere for about another month and last night there was a lunar eclipse in this part of the world. I didn’t take a picture of the eclipse but I did take a picture of the moon the following morning before the sun rose. #BlackSkyTravel

I wish people were more considerate when out in public. Too many lack situational awareness.

Never let the quest for *more* distract you from the beauty of *enough*.

Our first time in the land down under. A nice break from the weather in the northern hemisphere. #BlackSkyTravel

Gardens by the Bay (Singapore) at night #BlackSkyTravel

y’all really think democrats are the only way we see freedom and that’s unfortunate.

Not something you see everyday … freshly squeezed orange juice from a vending machine in a subway station.

Sitting outside watching clouds scroll by and hearing birds chirping is a good antidote for having to deal with a lot of chitty people.

I see the stock market took a tumble which is not surprising. For those with money in their 401k and panicking, remember it’s only a paper loss. If you sell your shares you lock in the loss. Don’t check the market everyday and don’t doom scroll CNBC. #BlackSkyFinance

We were on the Singapore Riverwalk last night and I saw at least 3 or 4 restaurants that were advertising that they were North Indian and Mexican restaurants. It’s not a combination I was expecting to see. It wasn’t fusion but separate dishes from both cuisines. 🤷🏾

The Marina Bay Sands lit up at night from across the Marina Bay in Singapore. It is a hotel and casino complex. It is known for its three towers topped by a skyway. #BlackSkyTravel

We’ve made it to Singapore. So far Singapore has the best metro system I’ve seen so far. Clean, clear signage, plenty of escalators and lifts. It was a breeze getting from the airport to the hotel.

Ignorance is bliss. Sometimes it is best to not watch the sausage being made and to not watch the Waffle House cook make your breakfast.

Today is a travel day. I will be glad when we are checked in for the night.

Merdeka 118, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Currently the 2nd tallest building in the world. #BlackSkyTravel

My new favorite thing … Japanese bento boxes

It’s interesting how much better sleep I’ve been getting away from our apartment in France. I’ve told my wife that we need to move. Something in that apartment affects my breathing such that I get about 1.5 hours less sleep per day. Sleep s just as important as diet and exercise. #BlackSkyFitness

If you lack empathy for those who are not able to navigate this system as successfully as you, I question your upbringing, morals and decency. Go away as you have nothing to offer the greater good.

The Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia lit up at night. At one time they were the world’s tallest buildings. #BlackSkyTravel

I really feel for my brothers and sisters back in the U.S. I just spent the day dealing with the healthcare system in Malaysia. The experience was better than any I received in the U.S. and at a fraction of the cost.

While in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia I noticed these palm trees with red stalks. I don’t remember seeing these in others parts of my travels.

I underestimated the Eagles defense to get to Mahomes w/o having to blitz. The Eagles defense is up there with the 85 Bears defense.

Watching the Suer Bowl live at 7:30a on a Monday morning is a different experience.

We are back in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for a week or so.

Newcastle is up 2-0. Likely to move onto the Final of the EFL Cup.

At the half Newcastle 1 Arsenal 0

Seems like Wall Street is not a big fan of tariffs. Dow is down more than 400 points.

It’s good to see my SL in such a good mood right now.

I would be embarrassed if I were Luka. It is an indictment on his lack of defense and his conditioning that he got traded the way he did. He is not self motivated.

Arsenal manhandled Man City today. Final 5-1.

Haaland has tied it up against Arsenal 1-1

Raya had a nice save. Arsenal still up 1-0 on Man City.
