I escaped the office thanks to the help of my worship-worthy administrative assistant Pam, who helped me get a bunch of tasks done. Now I'm on an Airbus at Dulles waiting for the flight to San Francisco to begin. The plane is not quite half full. I'm thinking ahead to my day at the Global Business Network tomorrow and Stanford University on Friday morning. I'm also thinking about my daughter Cianna as I attach this picture (4) of her putting business cards into my shirt pocket. Lately, she loves to point to contrails in the sky while shouting the baby-fied chinese pronounciation of airplane: air-pane-ah! Hopefully, she'll get to ride one again soon.
