This isn't really travel worthy talk but sometimes the mundane cycle of work, sleep, run, repeat in Dallas forces me to spend a lot of time looking at myself and others around me. I hope I'm happy and I make others around me feel the same way. That's all we really can aspire to achieve, regardless what it looks like.
Right now I'm just hoping my daughter had fun at tonight's Marine Corps Ball with her boyfriend and my flight doesn't change again to arrive any later so I can be in bed for at least a nominal amount of sleep before my early AM appointment with Trainer Nick! Of course, the fourth delay now has us arriving at 1:20 so we'll see. At least the free drinks in the Admiral's Club are taking my mind off the issue.
The perfectly ordinary post above was written on Thursday evening at DFW. It's now mid day Friday and that is not a picture I should be adding to the post. After yesterday's delays, my flight was canceled, I ran two terminals away to catch an overnight connection via Chicago, then another, both of which I couldn't make. Covered in sweat, and told by both American and by my corporate travel agent that there were no connecting flights left last night and no direct flights until Saturday, I felt utterly defeated.
I grabbed four hours of sleep at the Westin and am connecting through LaGuardia today. So far, my ticket was canceled and they took the seat, my connection was delayed. We're finally seated on a puddle jumper and will hopefully take off soon. I certainly don't want to have to update the post with any more adventures. I'm ready for the weekend!
