Someone else did. Can’t disclose details yet – and probably not here anyway… It’s wine related, of course, and based in Asia. I know “Asia” is vague, but it’s actually based wherever I want in this region, within reasonable budget constraints and in a place that makes sense business-wise [no, Java and Penang don’t qualify alas], since I will be in a different country every week – so whichever city I call home doesn’t really matter to my employer, as long as it has an international airport and I keep hopping around…

So Da Missus and I have voted for Hong Kong – but I won’t believe it until I sign the rental contract… Just like I didn’t believe in this job until my new boss called me this morning… Call me pessimistic, but I once interviewed for a very nice job I was well qualified for, and thought I had it. The disappointment that ensued made sure I’ll never, ever, believe again in my feelings regarding such things.

Now where is that bottle of champagne?
