Less than 36 hours after getting home from Dallas, I was back on a plane to Brisbane for a couple days of teaching software developers about the intricacies of sending health-related data between computer systems.

On the plane, I had to fill out the little arrival card that you always have to fill out when you go to a foreign country. Although NZ has recently digitized that, which is nice. But anyway, somehow, and I still don’t know how, that card disappeared. So, I was rooting around under the seat, trying to find it. I never did. But I did find a Starbucks gift card, and it turned out to have a $5 balance on it. So now I am at Starbucks, having a mocha and a croissant for breakfast. Of course that was way more than $5, but at least I got a discount.
