Someone hacked into the email of some very smart Global Warming experts. This is a good read.

Do you need a vacation?
I am not sure exactly how this works, but this is amazingly accurate.
The picture below has two identical dolphins in it. It was used in a case study on stress levels at the Mayo Clinic and later at Fletcher Medical Center in Burlington.
Look at both dolphins jumping out of the water. The dolphins are identical. A closely monitored, scientific study revealed that, in spite of the fact that the dolphins are identical; a person under stress will find many differences between the two dolphins.
The more differences a person finds, the more stress that person is experiencing.
Look at the photograph below and if you find more than one or two differences
you may need to take a vacation.

Finally a movie about.... ME!!!
Paramount has wisely chosen to cast George Clooney to portray me in the upcoming "Up in the Air" (releases in Dec?). It's hard to explain to people what I see / go through when on a trip. The visuals from the trailer are fantastic. 30,000' aerial shots of farmland, mountain ranges, looking down on clouds, etc. Hordes of people dragging a suitcase in one hand and a trench coat draped across the other. Each one focused on arriving at their next way-point on time.
I laughed especially hard at the part where Clooney takes his trainee through the security line. If you travel frequently and you're NOT assessing who's in line in front of you - you're wasting time. Note: The movie makes it a racial/profiling joke out of the situation. The reality is those of us in analytical jobs are always trying to find a way though faster - independent of race.
If you ever wondered what it's like to be on the road - the trailer pretty much sums it up.
You know you've been traveling too much when you can identify an airport by the carpet. :(

Where it diverges from my life is that cold, unattached, "relationships weigh you down" business. Clooney does pull off an impressive monologue in the official trailer.
