Down Under - Chapter 6
Greetings, 'Breadheads'!! Do you want to know what a real
time warp is? Try going on the road for a month (where each
day feels like 36 hours). Then, come back home for a few weeks
(where each day feels like 12 hours). It's a strange "psychological
cyber-time phenomenon" (can you tell I just made that up?).
There's also, what I like to call, 'The 21 Day Theory'.
After a period of about 21 days you become more adapted to
life on the road and less to your former life at home in the
"normal" world. Then, when you finally get back home again,
the whole thing starts up in reverse. Right now, I am at week
number three and I've finally adjusted to the homelife groove.
Yes, just in time to pack my bags and, once again, apply the
'The 21 Day Theory' through another time warp. For me, the
time warp is not a song and dance from the 'Rocky Horror Picture
Show', it's a side affect of life on the road. But believe
me, it's a small price to pay when you consider the endless
adventures that a tour like this provides.
This leg of the tour will take us to New Zealand and Australia.
That means another airplane endurance test or, as we refer
to it, 'The Night Of The Living Bread'. It's not really as
bad as all that, especially when you've finished your third
glass of wine. And by the time you've finished an after dinner
brandy, even the movies begin to look pretty good. I only
hope the airlines have some new titles (I don't think I can
watch 'The Rock' for a third time). Anyway, I'm sure we will
soon forget the discomfort of the endless flight once we touch
down in New Zealand. I'll try to post more entries for the
road journal from time to time while were touring to give
you an idea of what's happening on the tour. I'm sure that
New Zealand and Australia are going to be amazing. We've already
received a great deal of E-mail from both countries. Goodbye
for now and stay tuned for adventures from down under. G'day
Mates!! :-)
The best from BREAD
