I stalled this post until I could get the planes & trains saga in print, since it made such a nice, obvious low. The travel lessons are clear. There's no point in being sloppy. On the other hand, I knew that everything would be all right.
I could also have mentioned an elbow injury that happened during a touch football game, the end result of diving for a fumble with arm outstretched just before a grown man landed on it full force. Hyperextension, with a side of crunching. Pretty obvious lesson there. The bright side is that it pumped up the "no pain, no gain" reward of gutting out an upper body workout the next day. The chest press machine broke for the fourth time in a year, so by now the backup routine is down pat for easy transition.
The laptop computer's transformed daily living. The hours I used to spend down in the basement are now spent in leather-seated comfort.
Sorry Jack - glad to see a couple of underdogs make it to the World Series. I'm pulling for the Giants out of National League loyalty, but it's going to be satisfying no matter who comes in first.
The condo board requirements are winding down, with the end of an eight-year run signaling a degree of new beginning. Tryouts for NCHS hoops start November 8 to fill the time with a new adventure.
Despite the travel drama, New York was a fascinating place to be. How lucky to be able to see a different part of the world as part of my job!
