A bit testy today, Andrew?  You expect a poor 'Murkin to SPELL a  
colloquialism correctly 7 years later? 
 
We flew business class to Sydney (my trip on my grant) with a very short  
layover and off to Launceston.  CFO was blissfully unaware that I  had spent 
almo
st the entire Pacific in the bathroom--really "Bathroom  class." She was gold 
preferred (no longer, sniff) and we had free upgrades, or  what I had 
anticipated as an upgrade.  We were able to use the airline  lounge at Logan 
and 
that's where I must have ingested something quite off.
>From the symptom of projectile vomiting, likely contained Staph.  exotoxin. 
The unfortunate passengers seated close to the  bathroom glared at me like I 
had Ebola when I finally emerged.  Almost  recovered except jetlag, no sleep, 
by 
time we reached Tas.  Then  while in a bit compromised condition had to 
maneuver the rental car with the  stick shift on the wrong side and the 
expected 
bizarre perspective driving on  the left.  They also have a fondness of the 
accursed rotaries, of which we  have way too many here in New England.  Perhaps 
there is indeed an  irrational streak down there.
The blasted things are traversed the wrong way round as well.  Most  'Murkins 
(very few there) were obvious as they had the cleanest windshields  as the 
wipers and turn signals are on the "wrong" side.  
 
I'll admit to one significant screw up.  We had hiked down Wineglass  Bay 
with a bunch of OM gear.  I think we had some promising  images.

The CFO commented that I was sweating a bit more than expected for a runner  
on the way up, and fessed up that I was worried about the analog movable  
sensors.  I am quite careful, but it did not catch well and despite it  being 
seemingly around enough times was not advancing. Drat.  Should  have caught it 
sooner, and it hasn't happened since.  Suppose everyone has  stories like that.
At least my presentation went well, and the remainder of the trip was  great.
