Get this, and let it sink in: I am on my way home right now from a four-day business trip visiting a client in Stockholm, Sweden. Given the miracle of technology, I am on e-mail right now on an SAS flight to Chicago somewhere over Norway at 39,000 feet, crusing at 463 mph on a free, broadband wireless Internet connection listening to Asia’s Wildest Dreams on Napster and having lunch. Life takes odd turns and this certainly is one of the more amusing, productive and strange experiences I’ve had in a while. I am not sure if God is going to punish us for this or reward humanity for our pure ambition and determination to achievement given the talents He has given us. A few seconds ago, the flight attendant was suggesting two types of red wines, Merlot or Grenache and I am trying not to spill it all over my Vaio notebook. This is weird. I have to think about what this all means. The lyrics are pure irony: “I never would have thought this in my wildest dreams.”
