Ah Airports
Well, here I am at the airport waiting for my flight. Joy. It's snowing lightly. Let's hope that's not enough to stop traffic.
I always get to the airport early. I'd far rather get to the gate early than dash in at the last minute. Not that I like sitting in the airport, but I'm always paranoid about some ridiculous thing causing me to miss a flight. I guess if I flew more it wouldn't bother me so much - but I doubt it. It's one of those weird quirks.
Good thing about getting here a bit early, I was able to get some work done and now I don't have to worry about it. That's a good thing. However this waiting area is playing some sort of cartoon for kids. There are no kids, but hey there "might be" some kids so they have cartoons. If they were good cartoons it would be one thing, but from what I'm hearing it doesn't sound very good, not funny. Why couldn't they play looney toons?
In other news... I put on the wrong pair of socks this morning. Unfortunately these are a pair that tends to slip down as I walk. Very annoying. First order of business may be buying some new socks while I'm in Chicago. (because when you think "shopping in Chicago" you think socks - right?) Of course I did bring more socks, but it looks as if it won't be enough since I now remember I pulled out 2 pair of these yesterday and one is packed. Ho-hum.
I keep forgetting how the trackpad on this laptop works. There's a special area to swipe to make the page scroll. I am always reverting to the Apple method (the same method used on my netbook) of a 2 finger swipe. I have to do that about 10 times before I remember how this trackpad works. I need new braincells.
Now off to check work mail then maybe get some reading in. The excitement never ends.

Ain't travel fun? Oh, well, any excuse to shop, eh? That's what my wife says, anyway ...

Let's see, I just got back from one trip, sort of unpacked my suitcase, and I'm already thinking about what I'll need to pack for my trip next week. I'm beginning to think I'm over this whole travel thing. My least favorite part is getting the camera and the computer and my purse all smooshed into only two carry-on items. It never works right and the laptop and camera are always too heavy.

Hope they at least have coffee.

LOL - well, unless I want to spend a minimum of 2 days just to get there, I guess flying is the only real way to move around the country. I just wish they didn't make it so painfully difficult.
Cappy, since I was starting from home, I got my coffee at the usual place. Then decided it might not be the best idea to get more. Well see about the rest of the trip.
