7:30 a.m. Boston time. 4th inning of Opening Day, and the Sox are down 2-0. Dice-K gave up a homer his first batter back in Japan--oops! How bizarre to be listening to live baseball before my morning class. Reminds me of listening to NFL playoff games on shortwave in Lithuania. Space and time, my friends. Space and time.
4:30 a.m. Tucson time. Just got off the phone with mom, who got dad finally admitted to the hospital, after waiting in the ER for hours as a preventative measure (long story for another time)....So it's already today in Boston, but I'm apparently in "tomorrow" as far as mom is concerned....But she hasn't slept yet tonight....this past night...whatever....so it's all a little confusing.
Back to grading...let's go Sox!

Sorry to hear about your father. Time zones get a little crazy when you visit other countries or get deep into figuring out the differences of "over there" and "back home" Our minds are so programed to function where we are but to someone else, where we are could be the next day or even the day before. Its silly...
The whole concept of time gets really jumbled up when you are watching your second Sox game at 6am in as many days. I hope everything turns out well with your family...
Sorry to hear about your father Bjorn. I hope his doing alot better now. Time zones do get a little crazy when you far away from family members. Back in December and January i was about 5 time zones away from my mom and when she called me before going to bed at night, it was crazy because it was still about 4 or 5pm in Hawaii.
