It is a nice day... hopefully not to hot, since we’re starting out so late. But we’re going to take the shadier trail.
Well... staking out the desk and getting in line first seems to have paid off. I got an aisle seat in the exit row. Major score. Had to buy my way in, but it’s so much better than it could have been.
[whew]
Well... I’m arrived. So far so good. Flight was good. Even got a free upgrade on the rental car. Instead of the usual compact japmerican blandmobile I ended up with a Volvo S60.
Niice. Dang... this ain’t yer Dad’s Volvo anymore. This thing is a little rocket. Leather and electric everything. Schweet. Takes the sting out of a soon-to-be-intense week. :-)

So there’s that.
