Yeah I'm here...

I think the amount of time it takes for me to "bounce back" from long boring uncomfortable flights has increased along with my age. That and the fact that since we have not flown steadily for a couple of years means neither one of us has any airline status and we are flying in the "back of the bus" again. ...and I'm here to say, I've been on buses more comfortable than the brand new 737s I've been on lately. I still contend that the person in the middle seat should get the use of both armrests..unless of course I am in one of the other seats. This only happens if I'm flying alone, in other words, it doesn't happen.

Never get comfortable with the thought you have a 2-3 hour layover in some airport for your connecting flight; if you do, you will end up using it all up at your home airport with delayed flights and end up sprinting to make your connection. I really hate sprinting with my 30 pound computer bag...and yes I need everything in it; I checked.

Yes, it's true. There IS indeed an evil scheduler who has nothing better to do than figure out how each and every single traveler has the farthest distance possible to travel between arrival and departure gates in the shortest amount of time. Unless of course said traveler actually HAS the 2-3 hour layover in which case the arrival and departure gates are next to each other and all the food/drink kiosks are closed. (too early/too late)

Ok Ok..enough complaining. I'm pretty much recovered from venturing off to Seattle and back. I did very little while there since I used up one full day recovering from waiting, flying, sprinting, flying. I hunted down parts to fix my suitcase which lost/broke it's feet. So what if it took me a bit to wonder why it kept falling over. The poor thing only has a few hundred thousand miles on it..geesh, our cars don't have that much combined and they are 5 and 7 years old!

So I spent the weekend sleeping and eating and getting Greg repacked then I settled in to catch up on a few shows I've been wanting to see..hello TIVO. Grey's Anatomy...oh yeah...Dereck and Addison, sad, end of marriage, sigh,..what's that? Bathroom door opening? Dereck turns in answer to the noise...Ding " Do you want to delete this recording?" Huh? What? Hey!!! The show's not over yet!! Hey wait! Who's in the bathroom!!!??? Stop!! I mean Go!! Why didn't you keep recording?? ACCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

Whew...at least I have kids who watch/record these shows too. I made a phone call. AND.. I recorded Six Degrees after it so I did get to see who was in the bathroom, anyway....whew.

So I guess I'll catch up on some real work today. Month end and Quarter end are upon me...

Have a fine day all....
