Thank you, Delta, for emailing me 30 minutes before boarding that the flight has been delayed. The birds in the terminal are also a nice touch.

My flight was also delayed 2.5 hours.

You have time to sneak across the river for a quickie with Dguller.

Thankfully I'm now far away. It's currently 75 here.

HEY, I'M RIGHT HERE.  Good thing you're not.

University of Chicago stumped by package addressed to Indiana Jones
Published December 16, 2012
Associated Press
CHICAGO –  University of Chicago officials are puzzled by a mystery piece of mail seemingly linked to the Indiana Jones movie series.
The Chicago Tribune reports that the university's admissions department received a package last week addressed to "Henry Walton Jones Jr." That's the main character's name in the popular film franchise that began in 1980s.
The package contained a replica of the journal from the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" film -- and no explanation.
University officials turned to Tumblr for answers.
Admissions counselor Grace Chapin says one theory is that it's an "alternate reality" game where players plant clues for others.
Officials with Lucasfilm, the studio that made the movies, say they weren't responsible for the package.
University officials say they haven't decided what to do with the journal.

What, the heir can't keep the Mustang if they want it? 

Sounds a little shady to me.    Damned lawyers.  "Why, no ma'am...we have to sell the classic car...yeah...sell it."

I don't see any reason why they'd have to sell it if cousin is the sole heir and the estate's debts can be handled with liquid.  Sell-off of property is more necessary when someone dies intestate and there are a hundred heirs at law, like when my fiftieth cousin in the eighth parentela or whatever died and I got a thousand bucks from the disposition of his farm.

You take it to the Valley of the Crescent Moon, dummies.

I'm flying to England on Friday, have to be up 4ish for a 5am bus.
Wonder whether its worth getting 3 or 4 hours sleep or if this would be bad and I should just burn through and let the bus journey and the flight go quicker.

Silvio is engaged to a 27 year old hottie. That guy is living the dream. Or, you know, until he goes to jail.

82 days on a submarine with NO PORT CALLS sucks.  On the other hand, the food was pretty good.  My trusty defense mechanism, narcoleptic anxiety, also kicked in with some ferocity.  It's good to be home, lol.

No no, it's that I was so stressed out and pissed off that I was sleeping pretty much whenever I wasn't on shift and still didn't feel rested.  I am a CHAMPION sleeper.

That's pretty much what I do on a smaller scale when I'm on a business trip.
