I Just Woke Up

But I am finally home.

5:40 flight on Saturday canceled, on standby for two more (delayed) flights, kicked out of terminal at 2 something, tried to sleep in baggage claim and check-in areas with no success, got screwed out of two more flights in the morning, finally found someone with a brain who put me on a flight to San Fran and a connection over to Chicago. Got home about 6:30 last night and have been sleeping ever since.

How was your weekend?

Oh dear. You got trapped in the LAX-verse. I got stuck there overnight once (oddly, they didn't kick us out, but there were a LOT of us); the only thing I remember is pain pain pain and having the best breakfast burrito in the world at some sort of 1950s-esque diner in one of the terminals. I did not feel one bit like Tom Hanks.

I did not eat at LAX yesterday morning, but I had a corned beef sandwich in the San Francisco airport which managed to restore my will to live.

I'm happy to have joined the ranks of the survivors.

Sent an email to your yahoo address. Not sure if that's your main address.

I guess book-writin' makes a man soft.

Hey, and I tried to reply to the address it seemed sent by, but was told it didn't exist. In any case, my response is W00t! YAY! and When?

Wait'll you see the pictures. It's not pretty.

My address is scott @ scottj.net. When I use the web interface to send email everything gets wonky.

You missed some Voyager Love on Simpsons! I thought of you, but i missed Homer's tearful speech because I was busy explaining why Lenny was wearing a bra to one of my housemates. (It wasn't a bra. He was wearing a 7 of 9 costume, duh.)

You were kicked out of the terminal??!? What the fuck?

Probably only terrorists linger in airport terminals past 2 AM.

Oh, sweetie.

That's EARLY. I've been meaning to write you about the little guy. Hope you are loving having him around.

I couldn't make sense of it either, but apparently American Airlines doesn't have any wee-hour flights out of LAX. I'd have gotten a hotel for the night, but at that point it would have been lie-down-then-answer-the-wake-up-call for the first standby flight in the AM.

Aren't you glad you don't have a "real job" you have to be up at 6am to get to? :)

Yes. Yes I am!
