Ok I made a little mistake. I will elaborate on this later on. My day started off with my 3rd private lesson in Power Yoga with Lori. It was AWESOME! Not only did I do the usual Sun Salutations, I also got introduced to some really cool standing poses and some hand stand poses. Handstand stuff, neato! Again thanks Lori for the great experience. I am definitely going to check out this Power Yoga stuff when I get back home. Namasta Lori. Again good luck to you, your husband and your baby!
After this I made my way to the academy to give Mehdi a hand with his training. Mehdi had already completed 15 rounds of boxing with Perry when Josip and I got there. I held Thai pads for Mehdi for 5 three minute rounds. Again Mehdi was on the ball! This is going to be a great fight. Then I held some pads for Josip. Josip man you look sharp! We finished off with some bag work and some plyo ab work.
I was talking to Mehdi about our flight arrangements to Thailand and he made me realize my MISTAKE. I thought I was leaving Thursday midnight; nope BIG mistake. I was leaving Wed midnight; tonight. LOL.
I rushed off to cram some Persian food down my throat, get home, do 2 loads of laundry, pack my gear in the suitcase (I did an AMAZING JOB!), packed my amazing Maxpedition sling bag, with the Jack Bauer patch, handled banking and credit card authorizations, bribed my cab driver to speed to the airport, and I MADE IT! I did 24 hours worth of crap, in about 3 hours. Not bad.
Mehdi just shook his head as we checked in. This was my 1st time flying with Eva Airlines. This is a Taiwanese Airline (Hector and Ivano you have to come). I actually felt pretty tall. I was actually taller than quite a few of the passengers. Sitting in the Deluxe section, I was treated to huge chairs, that reclined like Lazy Boy chairs, complete with foot rests, an actual glass for my wine, an actual cup for my coffee and a remote for my TV! Heaven! Got to kill 12 hours on this flight, so I am going to watch the Ugly Truth, Up! and Ghajini, a really awesome 3 hour love story with action (this will be the 2nd time I have watched this good foreign film).
I did not get to say a proper “good bye” to my bro Josip. I hope you read this guy. Again thanks my friend for putting me up at your house, showing me a good time, eating and drinking with me (I know you gained a lot of weight because of me) and for helping me out in a lot of immeasurable intangible ways. You’re a great friend and brother to me Josip, again thanks.
The second leg of my journey has begun. I’m off to Thailand guys to help Mehdi as he prepares to defend his championship belt. I’ll be back soon guys, have a good one for me-Jd
PS. Quick update: I’ve stopped off in Taipai, Taiwan. ALL IS GOOD
