9697 miles from where I was born

This afternoon, I will be traveling 9697 miles(on a straight line, but airports are not on a straight of course) away from Houston to 1"34'N 110"25'E on the other side of the earth... yes, 1 degree from the equator... sun at 12 o'clock is really at 12 o'clock... really.

My little brother(actually taller than me by about 6") is finally going to tie the knot with a girl. So I am going to do what a loving brother should,... to ring a wine glass and tell stories that will completely embarrass him in front of all his friends.

I will post some pictures in two weeks. Ta ta.
