LGA to ATL to DFW: a comedy of errors and mishaps

Went to wrong airport.

Scrutinized at security.

Flight delayed.

Missed connection.

Left package with gifts in overhead.

Waited 30+ minutes on hold to talk to Delta's lost & found. They will call me if they find it.

Everyone tells me it could have been worse.

It's good to be here, nevertheless

Holiday Humbug Harumph

Via email, from me to my mother:
Would you prefer something that smelled like Lavender or Lemon & Coriander?

Her reply:
No

My reply:
What do you mean no? That wasn't an option. It either or b.

She wrote back:
Still no

I am the type of person who reads these things.

That Saturday I had worn my "I Survived the Coney Island Cyclone" T-shirt that I had slept in the night before. A constellation of red splotches formed a mini-dipper across the right side of my face. (The effort to pop some pimples had left me worse off.) My hair looked good. I had gone to bed with Khiel's Drawing Paste on my forehead and the residue that got into my hair and made it look thicker.

When I shared the posting with my husband Mark, I pointed out that I am "possibly the hottest guy (this guy had) ever seen."

"I know that already. Why do you think I married you?"
