I know, I know, not very many updates recently. It's been a busy few days.

First, I had a trip from hell last week traveling from LGA to Cinci. With the t-storms Wed night, they cancelled almost all flights. I was at the airport basically from 5 pm till 1:30 am, as they kept delaying my flight by a couple hours at a time, and still promising us it would take off. Ultimately we boarded, push off, taxied, got on the runway, attempted to take off, and then the pilot announced we would not make it and had to go back to the gate. Apparently commercial flights are not supposed to be up between 2:30 am and 5:30 am, and the tower told him we would be on the ground in Cinci until about 3 am. Bummer.

Had to get a cab, go back home, call, rebook a flight (all flights full, of course), sleep a couple hours, take another cab to Newark, get delayed again, and ultimately take off.

Then the car rental place had cancelled my car reservation because I didn't show up the day before, had to sort that out. Same thing happened with the hotel, that took longer and was a pain, but ultimately I resolved it. I wasn't easy to remain calm and my inbox continue to fill at a rate of about 15 messages per hour.

Anyway, it all went fine.
