Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is it just possible he can't work the 21st century? I mean, all this other stuff looks so good on him. And I don't mean the italics sarcastically.

Man, I had nightmares about my work calendar. How weird. It's actually pretty decent. Which leaves me with no excuses about this Powerpoint presentation and this project plan, dammit.

At least you'll actually get some sleep during the sleep study?

That's the goal! Of course, I'll be in a strange bed, with electrodes all over me, trying to go to sleep at least two hours before I normally do (10:30 is too damn early), so I'm hoping having no caffeine and not having too much sleep yesterday will help with that.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Why is it we haven't created a Buffista think tank yet? We're just one venture capitalist short.

They say those seats would be for short flights - two hours or so.

Anywhere I can fly to in 2 hours I can car/train to in 4-5.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. When you consider the time it takes to get to the airport, go through security, etc. - it makes more sense to not fly.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Not really. It's a two hour flight to DC, but a 13-15 hour drive.

If your saying two hours from home to destination, maybe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, a 4-5 hour drive (say NYC-BOS) is an hour flight -- 40 minutes in the air.

Edit: In the air, not in the hair.

Yeah, a direct flight from ATL to BOS is about 2 hours, and it's an 18 hour drive. Even allowing the fact that we live an hour from the airport and check-in, we're waaay ahead flying.

Speaking of air travel, it looks like we all will be going to Annapolis for Thanksgiving. We're talking about an excursion to the Baltimore aquarium - with at least us and my cousin and his 8 and 5 year old daughters. We could also plan some "away from people we are related to" meetup time to improve the overall sanity levels, right? We'll probably have a rental car, so we could even go to DC.

Okay, fair enough. I'd still rather drive 10 hours than spend 2 in one of those seats.
