So why am I looking out at the New York skyline instead on landing in Cape Town as I was meant to an hour ago 😃 😀 😄. Because United Airlines has struck again. Midair on our connection flight from Newark to Cape Town, 2 hours into the flight, captain announces an air conditioning issue and we must return to Newark. But "not to worry, we will have you back in the air in no time." I laughed because I knew what would come next. We would not be leaving US soil because the United SA route from Newark is notorious for this. 3 weeks ago they canceled Cape Town to DC with a rescheduled flight in FOUR DAYS! I have a sense of humour about these things and always keep calm. When we landed in Neward, I had to laugh again when I saw the energy bars and water set out on arrival at the gate. We were going nowhere. Their system is very efficient with hotel and meal vouchers - practice, I guess. And guess what? The next available flight was FOUR days later. 😃 I'm sorry to my client whose summit I can not moderate in Jozi and another, whose board retreat I cannot address in Muldersdrift. (Not mentioning company names because people get pressured for working with me and you know why.) 😃 I felt sorry for the couple coming to Capetown for Sanlam Marathon. They planned a holiday for their 35th anniversary and now arriving the day before the Marathon. The couple on honeymoon to the Kruger missing all their other tours. And a grandmother from Philadelphia going to see her new grandchild. Atleast her children bought her a new ticket on Delta. Anyway, I'm too old for NYC, heading back to my family in DC. They'll be thrilled! But will take their rescheduled flight and run the Sanlam Marathon as planned. See you later Kaapstad. 😘

Macron folded. He must return Ramaphosa's hugs. On a serious note....it is a cowardly act but it confirms who is the global bully. Anyway, these things are cyclical and must be met with equanimity. Keep moving..the world is resetting. Political power is transient.

Summary: 1) Master your relationship with food. 2) Find a running FAMILY. 3) Find a running club (different to family) 4) Listen to your body. 5) Run in the morning. 6) Don't allow yourself many rest days. Rest and rest . But spot the difference between resting & being lazy.

Do you think she became God's wife before or after this era? 🤭🤣

Something has been bugging me about the IDT CEO video. It is that part where she says her mom is sick, she has kids, it's too much. Isn't that what most people use as a tool to moderate behaviour? You do the right thing PRECISELY because you worry about how wrongdoing will affect your parents, spouse & kids? ESPECIALLY if you are a prominent figure? Yena she uses family to emotionally blackmail a journalist whilst STILL doing the wrong thing - the bribe?

Day started in a TV studio in DC & ended in a stressful city called NYC. Nerves for my first UPFRONT & panic at missing my flight! But I made it & moderated at the UN's 69th Session on The Status of Women. Cherry on top? Arriving at hotel to be checked in by Neo, from Evaton!🥰

PS....Ace was in court, where his lawyers asked for a postponement. It was granted. A few minutes later, he stood on the steps of the court and lashed out at NPA for delaying his trial. They lapped it up and did a "breaking news, Magashule says......" Anyway, life or DEAF.....
