I think I’ve been spending too much time in the sun. I swear this little old Chinese lady in purple was following me around the whole day. I saw her in the morning getting into my mate’s car, I saw her on Market Street going for training and then I saw her on California while walking home. What’s really disturbing is the last time she saw me she had a small, knowing smile on her face, the sort of smirk you would imagine the grim reaper would have when sizing you up for immediate immolation. Insanity is surely knocking on my door; well actually if you ask my friends they would probably say it’s long overdue!

The grim reaper disguised as a geriatric Chinese lady aside, I’m off tomorrow for a three day company retreat at a mountainous place where apparently there will be no internet or cell phone coverage. I’m having visions of Deliverance before my eyes, despite being a few thousand miles yonder of the inbred belt. What’s worse is that I’m going to miss the damn play-offs and the SL/England cricket match! I’m hoping the Chinese reaper stays behind.

No sports, crazy visions and non-stop fundraising talk are not things I will be able to handle concurrently.
