Snow started in the wee AM, but didn't pick up until after the sun was good and up. that's when the airline called to tell me my first flight was cancelled and they rescheduled me for another. Delays totalled 7 hrs in all - including 3 in a tin can on the tarmack getting de-iced repeatedly. We even had a mid-air near miss with another plane. I've also decided that I find Jamacain/Hattian/whatever Carribean accents unintelligible and prefer to have gate agents without them.

Good thing I brought a book.

That wasn't the original plan, it's a short flight after all, but I heeded the little nudge to pick one up... for just in case. Turns out, I read it cover to cover. "The Devil Wears Prada" The book was much more clever than the movie in terms of storytelling, but I liked the character development in the movie better.

So did you make it to FL? Good idea getting a book! I'd read a review of the movie in the NYT, and they said they liked the book better.

Found a copy of "Visions of Sugar Plums" at the library yesterday. It's a 'Stephanie Plum Christmas novel'. I'll start on it after I finish the novel I'm reading about Henry I and Eleanor of Aquitane.
