I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why are there so many problems with this house? Don't they have home inspections in Canada?

I might try to take the train, but O'Hare is still holding my luggage hostage. Why did I pick this trip to not pack some clothes in my carry on?

Oh ugh. Yeah, no good options if you don't have access to your luggage. And you're right, not a great time to be driving in these parts.

Is there anything in particular that you need that could be brought to you if you don't make it out until late tonight?

Also, these people named their child Jetson.

Like- George Jetson?

I am sorry you are having traveling woes, shrift.

I am imagining sparking going to work with a long scroll with our signatures saying she can stay home-- kind of like the munchkin mayor (or coroner, or whoever has the scroll).

Does anyone know how to buy mp3 books on tape without an audible subscription? I want to get some for my mother and load them on an mp3 player for Christmas, but I can't seem to figure it out- everything requires me to have a monthly subsription.

I did eat food! It was a terrible sandwich, but at least I didn't have to pay for it. I got an amenities bag from United last night, so I'm okay for now.

I guess I'll call to see where my luggage is.

I'm not sure. I've just bought them from half-price books and ripped the CDs.

BTW, I'm making the e-Book version of Cog free from Dec 26th to Dec 30th, so if you know somebody who gets an e-reader for Christmas, it's a free book they can put on it.

40 minute wait to talk to someone about my luggage.

I'd say that's sub-optimal customer service.

Standby flight is delayed. I don't know whether to wait for it, or just get on a train.
