I got a good nights sleep last night so I feel refreshed and well rested at the moment for a change. I had a good weekend hanging out with friends. A friend of mine took me to a new restaurant in PI that serves amazing pork saute that is both cheap and incredibly good. I also was able to find for the first time a pair of shoes that fits me! I have been searching for months now for a pair of shoes. The last pair I bought was in Singapore which has a slightly better selection of tall people options. So I was walking around a mall the other day and was struck by what appeared to be reasonably big shoes in the store front. I went inside and asked their "maximum" which is usually a size 9-10 over here and to my surprise they had sizes up to 12 1/2. My last pair had reached its tipping point and was beginning to fall apart so it was not a moment too soon. It may sound ridiculous to be so happy about a pair of shoes but these are the things we take for granted in the west, being able to buy a pair of shoes (that fit anyway).
My assistant starts today so I'll be showing him the ropes as well as getting him started on grading my ever increasing pile o' papers.
