I am a sigh of relief...
What a weekend...
Travel...
I pretty much spent all day yesterday traveling...
It's pretty funny to me that as many flights I've taken in the past few years, I'm still terrified of flying. I mean, sometimes, it doesn't bother me that much, but I still always get bothered...I really wish I could just come to a point and totally not be afraid. Well anyway, I flew up to Seattle last night. We were delayed for a pretty long time, first, I don't know why, but then, the flight was overbooked. PLUS, the plane they sent us was a different configuration than the one they expected, so there were 18 less seats than they could hold. So they had to see who would give up their seats for a 1st class ticket the next day, but I couldn't cuz I had to be here by last night(which didn't end up being true, cuz I didn't have to meet w/ my people early today, but oh well). Anyway, we finally took off and two and a half tense hours later, we landed. Took me another hour so, but I finally got in late last night...sheesh.
Earlier that day, it was the drive home from Vegas, and boy oh boy was it killer. We left early cuz I wanted to have ample time to have Father's day lunch w/ the fam and pack before I went. Well, it still took over 5 hours to get home. Unfortunately, there was a multiple fatality accident about 2 miles before we hit primm and traffic was pretty much all but stopped dead. Took us almost 2 hours to advance about 5 miles...after that, it was pretty smooth sailing, but that traffic was enough to throw lunch out the window and I only had about an hour and a half to eat and pack...which AGAIN ended up being that I actually HAD more time because my flight would end up delayed.
Turned out my day of not so much time ended up being a day of extra time that came in surprises...not the extra time I would have preferred, but time is a precious commodity.
Vegas weekend...
Fun fun and more fun. Well it could've been a little bit more fun if I had won instead of losing when I gambled, but fun nonetheless. It was my buddy Kyle's bachelor party and it was really good to see him. There have been big changes in his life and I was so glad to hear all about them coming from him. It's so good to see old friends and catch up. One thing we talked about was that even though we don't get to hang out or see each other as much as we did back in the day, we still valued our friendship a lot. Because the friendship is self-maintaining, we understand we're doing our own things, so we appreciate the time we do have. Anyway, back to Vegas. We partied it up at that outdoor circle bar by Harrah's and then went to Crazy Horse Too for some good old-fashioned debauchery...whatever happens in vegas stays in vegas...so that's about all I can say, he he he.
Sometimes, I find myself in the funniest situations. While I was waiting for my delayed flight to finally get it's final boarding call, I decided to go to McD's and I ended up getting myself a coffee. While I was putting my coffee and creamer in my coffee, and I threw away the coffee packets, I saw a 5 dollar bill...in the trash can. There were people around, but I decided to go for it...I stuck my hand in very quickly and fished out my new, well at least new to me, five dollar bill. hell yeah. I think I should've waited a week to go to Vegas, he he he.
Another Long day
Damn, I'm tired... what a long ass day. We didn't get started early, so I ate breakfast and read some reports. Then I ran and worked out...a little too hard I think, cuz I almost passed out. Then, I did some more work and had a meeting, went to dinner and then went back to another meeting, and then, some more work. Now, I'm back, and I'm freakin pooped like crazy. My arms, legs, and brain hurt. I think I shall retire...got a 400+ mile drive to make tomorrow.
Good night...
