On flying
14-Aug-06
I flew. Security was quick, mildly painful, and they did not confiscate anything. The lines were very short. The 4 1/2 hour flight had four or five babies (under 2) on it, of which one cried the entire f’ing time, not including the hour and a half at the gate where he screamed so much I went into the bar to drink myself into a lesser rage. Which raises the question: what the heck is wrong to make this kid cry for 5+ hours?
Had brunch with , , and yesterday. came to St. Louis, so we got to hang out together Saturday and Saturday night– she left before brunch, though.
Anyway, I’m now in Chicago, visiting my brother and his family– tons of fun. Meeting and hopefully today for dinner at Giordano’s on Davis Street, not Carmen’s, at 6 PM.
