Amazing

I’m watching ‘Meet the Press’ on my DVR (I record the show and watch it later in the evening). Howard Dean is being interviewed by Russert. Dean is running around in circles. He makes a statement, Tim hammers him with a contradiction, then Howard ignores it and runs in another direction.

What a piece of work. I never thought there could be a chairman worse than Terry MacAulliffe. Howard Dean has him beat in spades.

Home Again

Ah, travel. Some love it, most hate it. I hate it. We left Grand Rapids early enough to drive back to O’Hare in time to have a couple of hours before our 3:45 PM flight. No problem right? Right. We got to the airport right on schedule. We moved through ticketing and security, ate at Wolfgang Puck’s, then moved to the Delta lounge. All good. About 3:00 PM or so, we walked over to our gate, only to find that our 3:45 PM flight was delayed until 6:00 PM. Back to the lounge we go. The Delta lounge isn’t one of the better ones at O’Hare, so we were pretty much bored, and the heat was turned up a bit too much, so one couldn’t help but drift off into a half sleep. Not fun.

Wheels were finally up by 6:25 PM and we landed in Seattle at around 9:30 PM. I pulled into my driveway at midnight, but with the time change it felt like 3 AM.
