busy busy.

It's been a crazy whilwind couple days, with Yohei in town and workouts and work and travel... Sunday Amy, Audrey and I went XC skiing- my first and probably last time this year- at Harm's Woods. The snow was good, it was de-facto groomed, and we had a great time. I need to ski more often.

Yesterday ranks as one of my worst travel days ever-- probably #2 only to the day I was stranded in Philly. I was up and out of the house at 4am for a 6:35am flight that was delayed. And delayed. Soon it was supposed to depart at the same time as the 8:40 so I switched, then it was moved up and I switched back. They finally loaded us onto the plane and - bam - it was overweight. They had to call a refueling truck to come take fuel off, which was going to take an hour. My event was at noon and it was pushing it, so I decided to get off the plane and give up. And two other people gave up too. So suddenly the plane wasn't overweight and it left... without me. Crap. So then I got on a 10am instead and finally got there at 11:30, barely made the event, pushed my 2:55 return to the 6pm. Got charged $10 for gas in the rental car that I drove all of 13 mi because I didn't have the receipt. Got on the 6pm flight and it landed early at O'Hare only to not have a gate... for half an hour. UGH. So, so much for that 16 hour day. It's over.

Ran a fast 4 this AM. Looking forward to a quiet night tonight-- if I can catch up on work. Which is a big IF.
