5 more hours

In 5 hours I'll be leaving San Diego to drive up to L.A., where I'll take a 13-hr flight at 2:00 AM to Taiwan. Very exciting, indeed, because I'll be joining the rest of the family in a day and a half.  This is the last of my serenity for the summer, or perhaps the year.  I heard it's raining now in Taiwan, so that's good.. it should be cool when I arrive.
