For the 7 of you interested: Made it to Hong Kong last night, uneventful and smooth 16 hr flight. Cleared customs like a breeze. Made it back to the apartment efficiently via a city bus route. Ate conveyor belt sushi, and crashed. Now I'm up, dealing with the tine change. Miss you all.

The signed 25 O'Clock table has gone out to the curb. Started getting signed in 2018 til 2020, so more of a snapshot than a complete history.

I'm not a hoarder, but I often want to keep things like this. Which is probably what a hoarder would say. Goodbye, tabletop. You were part of the team.

Not a very "football kinda guy", but the thought that Philadelphia and Buffalo could play each other in the Super Bowl two days before I leave the country is rather exciting to me.
