Something happened to me today that reminded me just how strange the brain can sometimes work. And how one thing leads to another. It wasn’t anything big but it was entertaining and mildly enriching.
It all started when I went to clip my fingernails. Usually, I do that after showering. I find it much easier to clip them if they are a bit softened from the warm soapy water. But I had already showered hours ago.

Schiphol Airport, Terminal 3 @ 7.45AM
Amie (right) and Hairi (obviously left - Amie's good friend visiting from Malaysia) about to go thru customs on way to 'singles' weekend in London with a group of friends. Don't know if it was the early hour and my eyes weren't yet focused, my age and the hand is not so steady, or just the inconsistency of the mobile fone, but it all seems a little blurry to me.
I know that no matter where one lives, there are interesting places within an hour's flight, but I have always gotten a kick living in Europe being only one or two hours flying (or 2 - 6 hours train) away from so many different, interesting, old, historically important and culturally diverse capital cities.
You don't see many people in the background either. Can anyone say, "recession?"
