Day 22: The Airport

U.S. Airways gave me a good scare when, just after the flight attendant had closed up our little regional jet’s door and sealed it, a mechanic demanded to be let in, holding a piece of paper, asking to see the pilot. Turns out some electrical part had gone wacky and it was going to require tests before we could get in the air. We sat for an hour, waiting on said tests, enjoying delicious free…

Day 20: History

(You have to look at the big version to appreciate the scope, and to see the screen we were all watching.) I’m having a hard time writing about Tuesday.

Day 10: Loretta

I pet-sat today for Phil, who went out of town for the weekend. His roommate, who usually does the pet-sitting, is currently in New York City, auditioning for some band that’s been in an iPod commercial or some shit. Ya rly. Anyway, it was cool getting to let myself in the house to play with the animals. Of course we all remember Sir Howard the Lap-Bound and King Felix, but another ball of fur has…
