On Friday I was wondering what to do with my long Veteran’s Day weekend. It looks as though I will be heading up to Nanuet to visit Norm and Vicky for the weekend. Our agents have met and various contract issues have been hammered out, and that cleared the way for a weekend visit. It…
I’m finally back home after 5 days of on-and-off travel. I got back here around 11 PM and I’m about to head off to bed. Going into work a little late tomorrow. It’s good to be back home!
I just got a notice from United that my flight from Pittsburgh that was scheduled to leave at 7:30 PM this evening is now scheduled to leave at 9 PM. Weather delays. Oh, well, it means that Jim and I can have a leisurely dinner at the airport. (It also means that I won’t get…
I’m back home in Riverdale. I got to the house around 7:30 AM and I’m off to bed for a few hours. I have to leave the house around 3:30 this afternoon to catch my flight to Pittsburgh, but I should be able to get some rest before then.
I got into LAX ontime last night, picked up my car from Hertz (a Chevy Impala, very big, blue, with a nav unit) and got to Mom and Dad’s in Oxnard just before 11 PM. I was pretty tired so I went right to sleep, and I was up at 6:30 AM this morning, after…
It is 10 PM Eastern time and I am sitting in seat 2B in the First Class cabin of United 307 from Baltimore, Maryland to Los Angeles, California. I have been sitting here for just shy of four hours and I have exactly two hours to go, if everything is on time. I am bored…
There was a thin layer of frost on my car windshield this morning when I headed out to work. The temperature was 37 degrees and marks the first time this season that I’ve had to scrape frost or ice of the car windows. The first colder days of the season are always nice, but this…
I got into the office this morning and the place is like an oven. Yesterday the inside temperature was perfect. Today, it’s boiling. I’m not sure why. It rained most of the night and was still raining when I got up this morning. I took a taxi to the Metro station because you can’t leave…
I found out yesterday that I would have to go to Pittsburgh for work for a day in order to train some people on some software they will be using. (The good news is I have worked with these people before and they are a fun bunch.) The training is going to be on October…
This morning, I booked my flight to Seattle, where I am spending Thanksgiving with Doug, Rachel, Ruby, Carson, as well as Mom, Dad, jen_ashlock and Jason. In order to get the best fair on United, I’m taking a 6 AM flight from BWI to Seattle on Thanksgiving morning. I’m scheduled to arrive in Seattle at…
I just booked my Acela tickets to NYC. I’ll be there the long weekend of October 6 – 9.
