You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Ugh. Why did I think a 7am flight was a good plan? (I mean, better than the 6am flight my roommate was on (going a different place) but still).

Also wtf did I do to the muscles that attach my neck to my back? Ow!!

I did go dancing last night and have lots of fun, though. Which I couldn't have done if I had to fly in last night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fun dancing is fun! 7am flights, nsm.

I don't know what the hell is going on out there today -- went to pick up my lunch, and there was a group of young women jammed into the foyer at Panera. As I passed, one was saying, "The only thing that made it worth it is I did a keg stand before the cops got there." And then there was a guy who I am sure was peeing against the wall of the building next to mine!

It's Marathon Monday, right?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm at the airport, way early for my flight.(I gave myself a lot of time to get through customs, which turned out not to be necessary.)

Well, yeah, but I would expect that kind of thing closer to the route! Or later in the day! It's before noon on a cold Monday!

It's a three day weekend for a lot of people?

I did a 6-10 shift (7-10 of which is the theoretical guaranteed-$30 rate) and will go out again at 3 PM for a couple more daylight-ish hours. Yesterday's afternoon shift took me around -- Somerville, with side trips to Arlington and Cambridge. Not complaining, just surprised that it was All Local.

It's Patriots' Day in Massachusetts and Maine commemorating the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The Boston Marathon is also held today.
