I’m taking a short break from blogging with a 3 week trip to Australia and New Zealand. I’ve got quite a bit of work to do, as well as session prep for a busy schedule (5 different sessions to deliver) on quite a few time zones away from home.
And a little break in the middle as my family joins me in NZ.
Look for some blogging to pick back up the week of June 17.
I’m on the ground in Australia, but who knows what time it is. No idea if I can work, so you get Too Large a Workload? again.
In the air today, actually, I’m going to miss today. I’m flying to Australia, and as I cross the date line, I’ll lose today completely. Somehow.

I’m writing this in advance, as I usually recommend for all bloggers, because this is a lost day for me. I’m not going to experience May 27th, 2019 on the Earth. This happened to me last year as well, when I missed Oct 28, 2018, never setting foot on the ground anywhere on Earth.
Some of you have experienced this, some not, but it’s interesting for me. I actually left yesterday, May 26th, from Denver to get on a plane. Around 11pm at night, my flight left San Francisco heading west. The next time I’ll set foot on the ground will be Tuesday, My 28, in Sydney, Australia.
I don’t actually lose time, at least human time, which is a construct that we get around with our extremely fast air transport. In this case, I cross the International Dateline heading West, so by the time the plane lands, it will be Tuesday and I’ll have missed Monday.
Of course, it will just feel like a long trip to me and when I arrive, it will likely feel like Monday evening to my body. Hopefully I’ll get some sleep.
