You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Appreciate it, Dana! I am pretty comfortable with sleepily taking a Lyft to the station and napping on the train.

And of course your MiL contingencies gotta continge, Jen. Will be great to see you if possible, with or without the ride! Was vaguely planning on figuring out local transit and will keep that as a backup in case it is needed. Nephew's remarks were that DC and Baltimore Airport stations were both pretty close, I might have misremembered where he actually lives. I'll need to make sure I have the right address before then . . .

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Just FYI, it looks like it's about a 30-minute drive to the station. We're out in the burbs.

And with those arrangements I have 6 of my ten segments booked. Yikes! Also halfway through the 30 days, so just about on track for expectations I suppose. This is an extremely weird feeling all the way around.

Yay! I'm anticipating being around then, but... one never knows with these things. I dearly HOPE I am around!

And, obvi, go by what your nephew says. It may be a traffic thing that makes BWI and Union Station about equal. But, if he is in Silver Spring, I do pass right by on the way home, that much I know, and wherever it is, we will work it out!

So exciting.

I went ahead and bought my 6am Richmond to BWI ticket because there were only three seats left at the cheap price (what the hell, that is 55 days away, who is booking all those seats?) and when I checked if going to the other station would be better those tickets were twice as much. I don't begin to understand any of that.

And I will probably get a chance to hang out in the Metropolitan Lounge in DC waiting for that 10pm departure. I was hoping I'd be able to visit one of those somewhere. Whee!
