Tired, so tired. Game last night, then bull session, then I had to pack as I'm heading to the airport straight from work. On the good side, it is wonderful to sleep on the divine new sunroom bed under my NON-NOISY *ahem* down comforter and my kitties. On the down side, it is not wonderful when the heating comes on at 5am, which in the sunroom radiator is heralded by what seems to be an army of gnomes with hammers pounding on the pipes.

Thankfully the flight to Cleveland is a little under an hour, as the TSA has decreed that airline passengers shall not line up for the potty. (They don't seem to offer an alternative, either; it's the airlines' problem, don'cha know.) These people are completely barking mad. Or playing sillybuggers--can't you just see them, sitting around a table piled high with empty beer cans: "How about saying that belts are a risk, y'know you could strangle a pilot with 'em, and no one can wear belts on planes?" "Dude, no, I've got a great one...we'll say that lavatory lines are a security risk!" (Laughter.)

On those "five stages" I posted before..I'm definitely in #4, Twitchiness. (Probably an extension of "crisis management mode", I reckon.) And no, I ain't had much tea today. This should be all kinds of fun when we are sitting around the airport for two hours twiddling our thumbs.

Actually, this is sort of an acid-test for my future plane travel (AIRLINES TAKE HEED). If this is a god-awful experience, I am probably never going to fly in future if my destination is less than an 8-hour drive. The fact that the nice Continental lady advised I arrive three hours in advance to Newark does not make me real sanguine. I am, at least, not trying to take a fish, though I have visions of wackiness ensuing over my Psion: "That don't look like no Palm Pilot to me! It's got a keyboard! Must be a detonator thing!" Yes, my confidence in our security measures is positively boundless.

It's supposed to get up to 25 deg. F. in Cleveland tomorrow (i.e. the day of the graveside service). Uff da!
