So I was right at the security gate, and this guy behind me says their flight is boarding, and asks me if they could cut ahead. I shook my head no, I guess because IATA. But! they guy in front of me lets them go. And it turns out that they are a large family, with two kids in strollers, and TEN trays of carry-ons, of course loaded with stuff that you’re not supposed to carry on. I was right there at the gate, and it took almost 30 minutes to get through.
Fortunately, my flight is delayed, so I didn’t stress out too hard.
Tom, I would have lost my entire mind. I admire your cool.
Oh wow, Tom.
I started an email for the dinner tonight - if anyone other than Brenda and Laura wants to join, let me know and I'll add you.
Shoes: brought two for the entire trip (ankle boots and sport shoes) and bought a pair of nice shoes in NYC.
My flight is now scheduled to land at SFO around 4:45. I’ll be available for dinner probably after 7. I’m at the Stanyan Park hotel, in the Haight near chez Smay.
Edit: for those of you who want to follow at home, it’s JetBlue flight 1515.
Yikes, Tom. May the rest of the trip be less annoying. I added you to Shir's email coordinating dinner if you would like to join us.
Other than coordinating dinner tonight with Shir, anything on people's to do list? Baseball? Any ideas? We are in pretty chill mode, but open to anything.
You could come over to the house if you want! I'm just cleaning up and dealing with last minute things.
It's a bit chaotic because I'm still Spread Out with photo albums and whatnot. I do have some errands but a lot of my stuff will be around the house.

Tep, I'm bringing a costume change for Saturday just in case
Fuck, I just got a text that my flight out of Cincinnati is delayed, and I won't make my connecting flight in Dallas. Time to get on the phone.

We would love to come over, and lend a hand if we can.
It was super fun reading along except for the security delay for Tom and now the flight delay for Steph. I'm sending all my travel ~ma your way, as I do not need it at the mo'. For today, my travel plans lie all within the homestead.
