Travel pearls before blogger swine
Monday, May 3rd, 2004China in its digital age is intruding on me in my middle
age. Yawn. Last night’s dinner spilled into the lobby of the Durant Hotel
where the UC Berkeley rugby team was celebrating its national
championship win. Nothing like drunken undergraduate ruggers and their
dads to inspire a party.
House guest Fons and I toured the SF coastline
for a bit during today’s rare fogless afternoon. Then the China crew - Issac, Liang, Kevin and Andrea - showed up at
Gates Street.
Leave it to bloggers to travel 5000 Pacific Ocean miles in order to read each others’ blogs.
The evening ended with jazz, adequate food, and excellent conversation at the Mission Street Savannah Club.
Someone
at Sibly Auditorium the other day mentioned that digital communication
has led to more, not fewer, face to face meetings. Agreed. And I need to sleep.
