Monday 12-April (4am): Wow, it's early!

Leaving for Dalian now… then on to Bangalore. Can’t wait to see the teams; I have been away from my friends far too long. The other night in yoga (here @ home), I heard a buzzer/horn sound off in one of the basketball courts at the sports complex where I practice yoga… In my hot yoga stupor, I thought I was hearing the sounds of the Muslim call to prayers that I hear at night from my Bangalore office windows. It was then that I really truly knew that I was homesick for my friends across the pond.
