Travel Woes
 
Just to let you know... My plane finally took off at 2:05 this morning, and we got in at 3:11. After baggage pick-up (how the hell it took a half hour, I don't know, seeing as we were the only passengers in the entire airport, other than the stranded ones sleeping on the floor) and a very long wait for the shuttle to my car, I drove back home and arrived to greet Fred and George a few minutes ...

Pondering...
 
I wonder...if the TSA frowns upon passengers offing themselves at the airport. Although, really...after sitting at the gate for seven hours through three thunderstorms, an hours-long ground hold wherein no one arrived or departed; still finding yourself sitting at 11:40 with more than two hours to go until the "estimated" takeoff time (after having watched it get pushed back slowly, hour by ...

My Big Backyard: Sunflower Edition
 
I came home from a ten-day trip to PA to discover that what I thought were thick-stalked weeds in a pot by my back porch were actually sunflowers! I have a feeling they grew from birdseed that fell from the feeders above the pot. Here they are beside the feeders... And here's what I called "sunny face" - it's funny how a big, gorgeous sunflower has the power to make you smile, isn't ...
