Lesson from last night’s Central Europe Experience party: stuffed cabbage and jaeger schnitzel are not easily transformed into canapés.

Middle seat, coach, behind TWO babies for 15 hrs. Thank you whoever invented ambien.

OH at pool in Mexico: “ask me anything” “ok where’s Dubai?” “India, silly. Ask me a hard one. Like from Cranium”.

@markmackinnon
Thank you, mad government scientists. Beijing blanketed by heaviest snow in 54 years. It looks like Moscow out my window today. Or Edmonton.

@davidfarley
Teal blazer? Check. Linen trousers? Check. Speed boat for chasing drug lords? Check. I’m ready for Miami.

@Gadling
There’s no greater shower than one that washes off “airport.”
