Well, it's 7 AM Tuesday morning here in New Delhi, and I'm getting ready to go to a meeting. I've got an hour to spare before I leave, so I'm just sitting around in my hotel room having some coffee. Yesterday, an IT guy from the hotel came up and looked at my computer, because I was having so much trouble getting an internet connection. He took out my wireless card, put in another card, and did some other stuff. It appears to be working much better now, although the connection still goes in and out.
The purpose of the meeting today is to review and discuss the first draft of the proposal. Amazingly enough, everyone turned in their assignments on time. The draft was e-mailed out to everyone last night. It's pretty much a mish-mosh, but that's to be expected. The second draft will be due on Friday, and once that is done, I can get out of here. I was originally supposed to leave on Saturday but the flights were booked, so I am ticketed on Sunday. I'm going to see if I can find another flight on Saturday that I can get on. I'm really tired and the airplane cold didn't help things any. Frankly, after spending half my working life going back and forth to various overseas destinations, it just isn't appealing to me any more. Lots of people would probably kill for these international opportunities, but for me it's just getting old. Maybe I just won't travel anymore -- I don't know. I've said that before but I've always ended up getting on the plane.
One more thing. If you're in the U.S., please go and vote tomorrow. I did an absentee ballot before I left. Yes, I voted for Kerry. Things have just got to change. That is my one and only political statement on this blog.
