long time so logon. finally got out of the crappy (literally!) apartment i
was in, even got the landlord to refund half-month's rent....seeing as i
had a sewer pipe running through the bedroom....
anyway, moved into a lovely high-rise, 2 bedroom with balcony, on the
8th floor, with elevator. unfortunately, the bathroom has no toilet, just
the standard hole in the floor. that's really my only concern....using the
'squattie' after surgery, but i don't suppose anyone on the forum has any
experience with this. suppose i'll have to buy a cheap lawn chair and
cut a hole in the seat.
anyway, nice location, across the street from the hospital, and 1/4
mile walk from the riverfront 'promenade' where i do my running. and
the three neighbors on my floor are all doctors. kinda strange, when i
leave my apartment at the end of the 12-3pm noon-time sleep, they're
usually drunk, smoking, playing pingpong in the hall, just before heading
back to work at the hospital.
got my schedule for india, plan to arrive on the 5th of january, check in
that night, undergo 3 days of tests, then avr on the 9th. now i get to
buy airline tickets. planning a vacation is an adventure. in the land of
5-year plans, it's nearly impossible to book a flight more than a month in
advance. i got the international flight booked (long story), and i can
get a flight from the next city to my connection, but they don't sell
flights from this city more than 30 days out. then i'll need a train ticket
to get to the city with the airport, but train tix are only sold three days
in advance.
buying tix was such fun! tell the travel agent i want to go from city A to
city B. she says no airlines fly that route. no kidding, you're the agent,
let's mix and match airlines. oh, that's a new concept. what city do you
want to transfer at? what are my options? she says she doesn't know,
i have to tell her. but, but, but, you have the info on your computer.
what airline do you want? well, which airlines fly to city B? she asks from
where? wahhhhh!!!
hope to be able to log in more often, but currently have no internet access
in my apartment. in order to increase competition, the city government
has authorized three companies to provide internet service here. but then
they carved the city into three districts and give each company a monopoly
within one area. hoping for an open circuit within a couple months.
happy turkey day y'all

Glad you got the India travel arrangements done. Things sound like they're coming together for you. Best of luck and hope you can get online more often somehow.
