Well, the details and the nitty gritty aren't so important, suffice to say that I totaled my car on Monday, due to a unbelievable error in judgment, and then on Saturday I had an epileptic seizure in the airport in Singapore en route to New Zealand. Consequently I spent three days in hospital in Singapore and did not make it to New Zealand after all. I still don't know what caused this particular episode, nor do I remember the event itself. All I have is loose teeth and a quite well bitten tongue to remind me of the situation. One minute I was chatting amiably with my students, the next thing I knew I was in a wheelchair in an unfamiliar room where people were asking me if I knew my name and where I was. I knew neither. So I was sent off to the local hospital, no local money, no friends, and no way to contact the outside world. I read the same time magazine three times. Eventually I got in contact with Gwinner in New Zealand and my wife in Japan in order to let folks what was going on. I still don't know what brought it on, but I'm grounded (no driving) for the time being.
It's been an interesting week.
