Meanderings: March 23, 2000

Oh, I'm leavin' on a jet plane -- don't know when I'll be back again. Well, actually I do -- next week -- but it just doesn't scan, you know?

This will be giddily brief, as I'm supposed to get up in -- why, three hours -- and head out to the airport, hop down to Paris on Air France (screw Travelocity -- they were quoting prices in the range of 12,000 kroner, and it wasn't even a direct flight. To quote Elwood Blues, fuck that noise, man -- I called my favorite bucket shop and got tix for 5,000 kronor the day before my flight), change planes and settle in for the long haul to Chicago. My overnight bag is half-packed and ready for all the additional stuff I'll pick up in the States (I ALWAYS pick up additional stuff -- it's just a given by now. And since I'll have easy access to a washing machine and dryer, it's easier to pack less clothes and leave more space in the bag), my Walkman is charged, and the digicam is loaded for bear.

In other words, yes, this page is soon to be awash in pictures of my adorable niece and nephews. You might want to turn off the browser graphics while you still have a chance.
