Got home last night with no incident. Didn’t make it to LAX in time to standby onto the 6 p.m. flight, but that gave me a chance to do a lot of work-work without the annoyance of connectivity.<\/p>\n
No problem for DHIMOM at check-in. Lines were light. They’re expanding the Terminal 7 security area, which will be nice. <\/p>\n
I was approached by a very nice English gent while I was pounding away on my notebook in the restaurant who asked if he could recharge his iPod off of my USB port. I agreed (after all the usual paranoid thoughts), and he bought me a soda (sans ice).<\/p>\n
I was tempted (when prompted by iTunes, which eventually noticed the iPod hanging there) to overwrite his music library with some stuff from my collection, but I restrained myself.<\/p>\n
Managed to “Premiere” my way to a free Economy Plus seat at the front, just behind the First Class bulkhead. That gave me plenty of leg room and quick egress, but made balancing my notebook and papers a bit tricker on those crazy little tables. That and the glasses (First Class style) of wine they kept plying me with for free, which was odd but also nice.<\/p>\n
Made it home, found Margie still playing CoH, chatted about stuff, unwound, and went to bed.<\/p>\n
Last travel for a bit. I hope.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
