Just a few miscellaneous items. The cable went out tonight for the first time since I’ve been a Comcast subscriber, which is now several months. It was out for a little more than an hour and a half, and it was mostly annoying because the Internet connection was out with it. I called Comcast and…
I was up at about 8:30 AM and feeling pretty good. I slept well in the hotel room and the skies were bright and clear. I pulled open the shades and Jen and Jason were awake shortly thereafter. We met AJ and Denisse at the hotel restaurant, Olives, for breakfast and the breakfast was quite…
Our plane pulled away from the gate on time last night at Dulles. The pilot said wheels-up to wheel-down time to La Guardia was 39 minutes. We taxied toward the runway and as soon as I heard the engines spin down, I knew what was going on: another ground-stoppage in La Guardia. This happened the…
I’m feeling better. Not 100% but no fever. I got a haircut. I’ve done the laundry, gassed up the car, cleaned up the house. I had a phone meeting with my new accountant today. She’s going to prepare my taxes this year. Nothing new or complicated, but maybe I can write off some writing expenses…
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
I received word this morning that my flight from Dulles to Munich, Germany on July 2 (on my way to Venice to begin my big summer vacation) was confirmed for the upgrade I requested! That’s good news because the flight is just over 8 hours long and I did not want to be couped up…
I just found out that my flight at noon today was canceled due to weather. The weather doesn’t seem bad here right now, but maybe it will be later. Anyway, I called and the earliest I could get re-booked for was 7:30 tonight. I tried rule 240, but because it’s weather-related, all they can do…
I got into New York around 7 PM last night. I would have gotten here a little earlier, but there was a ground-stoppage going into La Guardia so my plane sat on the taxiway at Dulles for 15 minutes until the stoppage cleared. I got to Jen and Jason’s around 7:30 and shortly afterward, we…
I’m about ready to head to the airport. I have a 5:30 flight but I don’t want to rush. I’m all packed up and I’m really looking forward to this weekend. It should be fun. I printed out the 102 page manuscript to “Graveyard Shift” and packaged it up so that I could send it…
I have my passport in my hand! It is my first passport and the picture of me on the data page ranks with the worst passport photos on record. Nevertheless, I have it now, and just before the year comes to a close too. As it turns out, my passport is good through Christmas Day,…
I next head to NYC the weekend of January 13-14 for Norm and Vicky’s wedding shower. I made my travel arrangements last night, and once again, I’m flying because it was half as much as taking the train. I head to NYC on the evening of Friday, January 12 and I return home on the…
Someone told me that it was going to be a busy travel day yesterday, and since I was flying up to New York, I’d better give myself plenty of time to get to the airport. So I did. My flight was at 2:40 PM and I left for Dulles at 11 AM, figuring that fighting…
