So I'd spend the whole time there zonked out, trying to catch up on sleep and counter the time-zone vertigo and would maybe come out of it just in time to start dreading the plane ride home.<br /><br />It sucks being me.<br /><br />Does that make you feel any better?Glaven Q.

Any sun in NY these days? If not, come to CA. We seem to have a lot of it and can share.<br />Hope you had a chance to see more of HK than conference rooms.
