I keep expecting Phil to nag me to come to bed, but he's not here.
abracanabra: (Phil and I)
x-post LJ,Fb--

Phil is now on an airplane flying (business-class!) to Singapore, with a brief layover in Japan. (Oddly, Obama will be arriving in Singapore at roughly the same time.) GE sent Phil there to advise the recently established Singapore water filtration group. He'll be there for about two weeks. While he's there, he'll be eating tasty, exotic foods, seeing the city-state's finest sights, and generally have a lovely time in a foreign country. Or he might work like a dog all day and then go back to his hotel room to collapse at night. Depends who you ask. He will not chew gum, spit on the sidewalk, or otherwise do anything to get himself caned.

He's heard rumors that the Singaporeans go crazy for Christmas, so that should be entertaining. He's going to be doing much of his Christmas shopping there. And while he's at it, he'll ship my parents' presents to India (where they are currently teaching at a boarding school). Postage is much cheaper from Singapore than from the US!

I'm not going to live it up too much--especially since we're in horrid amounts of credit card debt after the tornado damage repairs and related house-fixing. I will eat foods Phil hates, go to restaurants, see movies in the theater, and perhaps go to a few of the (free) City Pages A-list events that Phil abhors.

I expect I'll eventually get bored and/or lonely, so Mpls folk--do let me know about socializing opportunities! Bearing in mind that I am now entirely reliant on public transit.
