Welcome home?

• Alarm sounds at 3:30am Chicago time.
• Cab shows up 1/2 hour later, with the meter already running as he waited for us to come downstairs – nice.
• Went through some strange GE explosives detector (I wonder what would happen if somebody were to pass gas while it detects… BJ?? Mark?? Bueller?)
• Waited in the airport for an eternity.
• CNN’s  “omni-racial news anchoress” was blasting on every TV.
  (with the prerequisite HEG – Hawaii Earthquake Graphic)

• While my eyes finally shut during the flight I wondered – they still fly planes with CRT TVs?!
• Oh, and no meal or snack on the ~3 hour flight to or from Miami – Thanks.
• Landed almost half an hour late while realizing that we should have just carried on our bags.
• Decided to take a cab to the city – $40 from O’Hare to downtown. Yikes.
• Got to work at 11am
• Full day at work.

Its good to be home back.

On a side note, in Checkers a Kinged piece can not move more than one square at a time unless he is jumping players. I knew something was fishy when I got my ass kicked!
