Actually Glad It's Monday...



Man, what a weekend, which thankfully ended this morning at 1:00AM when Cindy and I finally made it home from Chicago. Thanks to the fiendly skies of United, we missed our 10:30 (yes, that would be AM) flight, were unable to get on any Baltimore flight, eventually got on a flight to Philadelphia (but first had to wait in line for 54 other flights to take off before ours), rented a car and drove from Philadelphia to the Baltimore airport where our luggage awaited us (from a standby flight that we'd missed). Total wasted time: 12 hours. No airports in my immediate future, thank you. And thanks, United, for laying off even more employees who probably could have gotten us (and everyone else headed to Baltimore) on our way on time.

Anyway, enough of that. Our visit with our new niece Alex was very good, as was the Printers Row Book Fair, where I picked up a few books, including a signed copy S.E. Hinton's The Outsiders.

More later after a little time in recovery.
