- 06:48 Landed in Dallas, soon to be headed to Seattle. #
- 14:02 Home in chilly Seattle. #
- 18:52 saketours.com has English language Japanese Sake brewery tours in early 2010. Etsuko is an excellent bilingual guide. #
- 18:58 Alternating between wide awakeness and deep sleepiness. Something tells me it's going to be a long night of jet lag fun. Fire up the DVR! #
- 19:56 At Pike Brewing's 20th Anniversary party, enjoying their new Kriek and Entire aged stout. #
- 20:54 Note to self: In the future, don't walk by Serious Pie whe n you're hungry. The pizza aroma is very seductive. #

- 21:27 Despite beers and jet lag, still managed to do Tuesday's NYT Crossword in 5:54 (46/226). #
- 21:48 Was offered free tickets to see "the Unpredictable Kathy Griffin" at Mandalay Bay. I guess that's nicer than calling her "the Unfunny". #
- 22:25 Ready for bed and then back to work tomorrow morning. #

- 04:56 Eating dinner at Itamae Sushi in Akasaka. Very touristy, but pretty good. Sat next to a Microsoft Sweden guy and his Microsoft Japan guide. #
- 04:58 You're in a tourist sushi place when you order agari (hot tea) and you get gari (pickled ginger) because they assume you don't know "agari". #
- 07:02 Time for sleep. Early morning tomorrow, heading back to the USA. Finished Sunday NYT puzzle in mediocre 26:42, but at least I finished. #

- 19:42 If George W. Bush just won Nobel Peace Prize, would Limbaugh be criticizing or justifying that decision? Obama's less deserving than "W"??? #

- 02:19 Arrived in Tokyo. Typhoon has passed leaving a beautiful evening. #

- 06:41 American Airlines' hurricane policy stupidly doesn't seem to apply to Japanese typhoons. Off to LAX, hoping flight to Tokyo isn't canceled. #
- 11:51 Waiting in limbo in the American flagship lounge, wondering whether our flight to Tokyo's going to happen today. Decision time is 2:30. #
- 12:36 Looking at the well-stocked, well-equipped self-serve bar in the AA Flagship Lounge has me thinking about mixing Cadillac margaritas. #
- 12:49 Enjoying my margarita. No facility for easily salting the rim, so I'm eating potato chips with it. #
- 13:47 Elated to be onboard flight 169 to Tokyo. We'll get there about 2 hours late, but the flig ht's not canceled. #

- 00:10 The joys of surfing the late night channel guide: "Busty Bank Teller Orgy" on channel 801. Insert your own stimulus package joke here. #
- 10:10 Found out that my prescription was super cheap because they only had and gave me 20 of the 90 pills in my prescription. DOH! #
- 19:08 Good start on Tuesday's NYT Crossword, but crummy ending. 7:47 (11/12). #
- 19:09 I'd like to see a baseball game (exhibition maybe?) where all ball/strike calls are by pitch tracker not by ump. Goal: more uniformity. #
- 20:28 My LAX-NRT flight tomorrow is already delayed two hours, presumably because a typhoon is going to delay the inbound flig ht. :( #

- 22:18 DirecTV and Comcast are in a pissing match, so Versus is off DirecTV. Viewers lose some NHL games and Ivy League football. #
