I am, as of yesterday, back home.
I did laundry, checked email, and went to bed early.
One (of the many) good thing about my trip is that it got me over the insomnia I was suffering. Traipsing about in equatorial heat will do that for you, I guess.
The trip home was uneventful, try as I did to get arrested.
Look, I really do try to not be prejudiced, and I realized that Ugly Americans Abroad are a common sight.
But I...Read more
Saturday I got up early, ate breakfast, and spent the morning relaxing in my room. Maybe its advancing middle age that finds me napping on a daily basis. Maybe its vacation. Maybe its simple exhaustion. Maybe it’s the heat, humidity and sunlight that I go through for hours at a time here while wandering the city. Who knows?
Sad, really, how little I know. Or should I say how much I don’t know.
Which makes it especially odd for me, at times, to be in a position of being seen as a learned person. I spent my morning w...Read more
I woke up at 6, ate breakfast, and read. It was Buddha's birthday, which means a public holiday. But I live in Hong Kong, so today was the first day that Singapore didn’t seem like a public holiday.
At 10 I went for a walk, until 2:30. Then I went back to my hotel room. It’s hot outside. And I’m on vacation.
Though I have a hard time being a tourist. One reason I rarely take photos is that I can’t abide the reality of being seen as a tourist. Not so much out of vanity, but upbringing instead.

I woke up early yesterday. I had breakfast in the hotel, and for once didn’t make a flaming pig out of myself at the buffet. Don’t get me wrong, I ate plenty, but I exercised an all-too-rare moderation.
Which was just as well, since I ate a lot at lunch. But before that I actually exercised in the hotel gym. Shocking, this newfound motivation. I have no idea from whence it came.
I met with Zoe Lee and her friend during lunchtime, and we ate Japanes...Read more
It’s 8:00 AM in Singapore . I’ve been up for an hour, already eaten breakfast.
And why not?
It’s part of the terms of my stay at this nice, expensive hotel in the heart of the city’s financial district. Singapore is becoming a more expensive travel destination, thanks to the new casino. Not that I would set foot in the place. Gambling has never made any sense to me as a pastime. I ...Read more

There's nothing as depraved as a man in the depths of a glue sniffing binge:

So I better act right.

This is an excerpt from Miles Davis' autobiography in which he talks about Charlie 'Bird' Parker.
It makes clear the difference between Jazz and
garbage.
That is why Kenny G is not now and never will be jazz.
I'm old (enough), grumpy (to spare), and an educator.
