Hello from San Francisco

To start off let me recount the beginning of my fun 18 hour airplane trip to Beijing.

My flight left on time at 7:50am. After watching the plane soar into the air I took a nap.

8:50ish as the flight attendants came by to serve beverages. After asking for a Dr. Pepper, I was sadly informed they only had Pepsi. I decided upon OJ. They gave me a very small cup of OJ and after drinking the small cup I took another in a series of naps today.

9:30am I discovered channel 5 on the armrest played country music so I sat back and relaxed to some good tunes.

10:44am They serve us our second beverage so I have OJ again. This time they serve a fiesta snack/trail mix instead of peanuts.

10:50am The in-flight country station started playing Dwight Yokem's new album "Blame the Vein." As I'm trapped in this seat for the next hour I said,"Why not?" I did like one or two song and the song "3 Reasons" was a song I'd probably get once I get set up in my apartment.

11:32 am My plane lands in San Francisco. Local San Francisco time is now 9:32am
I'm off the plane sitting in the International concourse using their WIFI to publish this entry to my blog.
I'll wait here till my flight leaves for Beijing.
