ETA: Of course Florin doesn't exist. Or does it? heh.

Wonderful truth in the story about Andre the Giant on set tho.

This hotel wireless connection is really temperamental. It only works in one corner of the room, and it's slow, and it just refuses to load anything if I've got more than one browser window open.

JZ, no fair using your adorable toddler to try to get me to go to the F2F.

Hey, we do what we have to.

My flight today had a connection in Detroit. At the Detroit airport, to go from one terminal to another, you have to walk through this tunnel with glass walls. There's weird synthesizer music playing, and colored lights behind the glass change color in time to the music. Those are the only lights in the tunnel, so the whole tunnel is turning green and blue and red in time to this music. It's so bizarre.

I went through that a couple of weeks ago. Seriously weird.

Sounds like someone'a trying to copy the magic of the walkway to United's C terminal at O'Hare.

It is an odd place.

DH got stuck in Columbus, OH due to weather at DFW. At least they canceled and rebooked in stead of delaying forever. This means he gets to sleep in a hotel instead of an airport chair.

beth, that sucks. I hope they give him a hotel so he can sleep. There is no good place in the Columbus Airport to stretch out. Has he had a good trip?

trip was successful - he is in a hotel --there was mention of scotch
