The Day After...

Today's post will be short... this morning I awoke at 3am EST and by 4:30am was hugging a bleary-eyed G. goodbye. The flight boarded on-time and we left the gate at 6am on the dot. Then it all went to hell. First we were told we were being "re-routed" but given no reason why except that it "wasn't weather related." Then, because we were being re-routed and the trip was going to be further we didn't have enough gas and had to refuel. By the time we refueled, we were late, so we had to wait in a long line of planes. When we finally landed, 6+ hours later, we didn't pull into a gate until 30 minutes after landing. I got home, showered, threw everything in a bag and high-tailed it out of my apt in 15 minutes, only to spend the next 20 minutes roaming the streets of SF looking for a cab. Finally arrived at the office at noon. It's now 5:30pm PST...I don't even know where I am anymore. But yesterday? yesterday was pretty damn near perfect.

A big, big THANK YOU to G., Thiacyn, HP, Mel B., Linda, RC and of course, Marie for making this an unforgettable, long weekend that I will treasure.
