dispatches from the new world of work

Apologies!

Buy that (63-year-old) boy a map. I know I've been quiet for the last several days. Put simply, I have two round trips to Asia/Australia in two weeks. Left home Friday a week ago, spoke last Tuesday in Adelaide following a door-to-door 38-hour trip from Vermont. Then immediately on to Austin, another 24+ hour jaunt. (My presence didn't seem to help the Longhorns Saturday night.) Home for a/one day—and off to LA for a speech today followed by another marathon, to Seoul, for back-to-back full-day forums. By next Saturday, God willing, I will have racked up 50,000+ miles in two weeks.

My jet lag has jet lag—I'll be approaching sanity in a couple of weeks. Please bear with me.

Tom,

We all want to do it all, that is the given. But reading you post, at what stage do you hit the wall? And at what stage does your work suffer for the paying audience?

It is a question we grapple with everyday.

GPS can't even keep up with you.

Tom, have you ever thought of having a google map with pushpins onto it for every city that you visit ??

That would nice to see, green pushpins for done events, red for tenative schedules..
