Well well - isn’t it amazing, how fast 17 months can pass without me updating even the slightest detail in this blog? Yeah, Amazing - and somehow even disappointing

Course I have loads of awesome excuses in store to apologize for this lengthy delay, but I won’t even start listing them all, considering that someone, none of them would really take me out of dept. But now, I would actually like to start updating my blog more frequently again, frequently meaning more than once a year at least!

(Sorry My reports have been coming so late and so irregularely; the huge variety of places, events and facilities prevent me from fixing one certain time to blog, so I just report whenever I get to it)
If you have been reading the last post carefully, you probably know some of the more important tasks I had to fullfill today. The day was to start in Longbeach and to end in Mexico. Inbetween laid a stop in San diego (or its surroundings I should say) and some talk with Dan Kish about possible future Swiss seminars; then, you add some food and some rather strange stories and you are almost there. Well - let me just give you the details now:

Well, don’t even try asking me how and why our second day could start that weird; I only knew that when I was woken up (by the sound of my dog Leo having a drink), my watch said that it was some minutes after four in the morning; after finding that I could not fall back asleep anyways and therefore getting up, I discovered that my computer on the other hand had the opinion of it being shortly after nine already. One of these watches had to be wrong - but which one? How does a blind person who is supposed to have a jetlag find out if it is early or rather late in the morning? I must say that I did struggle with this issue for a little bit, since not even the internet who could have for sure told me seemed to work in this very moment. In the end it was the phone, confirming my sad suspission: My computer was right; my other watch (including the alarm clock I had set) must have jumped back five hours somehow during the night and I found myself hardly having any time left before my bus would have gone.
Yes, this day did start up kind of turbulent - and unfortunately also without complimentary hotel breakfast But it still ended more than satisfying.

OK, so Leo and I finally did succeed and are now already in a bus, on our way to Longbeach. Yesterday was not really overwhelming in providing events that would be worth being bloged about, but still there were some surprises here and there.
The object of this Tuesday for us was definitely The Chair or the seat. From early morning to latest evening, I had the oportunity to claim the ’service’ of dozens (feeling like hundreds) of them and to wait for something, me sitting on, Leo lying under them.

Only some hours to go and it will finally be true: We, which is me (René), the most intelligent dog in the world (Leo) and our fat suitcase (whom we haven’t given a name yet) are taking off again, this time heading towards the american continent - to the California area to be more exact - where we are going to at least visit the cities of San diego, Long Beach (both in the United States) and Ensenada (in Mexico). The trip, which seems to have been booked kind of too spontaneously and which is, by now, everything but entirely planed, will probably cause lots of excitement, which - provided that we shall find internet access at all over there - I will write about daily on this blog.
