I went to a pleasant wedding in the santa cruz mountains this weekend, but the return ride I scrounged got me to the airport too late, missing my 1PM plane by a few minutes. The next flight to philly didn't leave until 10pm. Serendipitously, it turned out to be Shakespeare in the Park, so I passed the time with a terrible play complemented by a terrific spread.
The pm flight was overbooked, but thankfully someone else took their turn to flake and I was allowed on.
Work the next day was really tough. I spent the first part of the day just barely convincing myself not to take the morning off, and then after lunch I spent the time resisting the urge to take the afternoon off. I made it through, though, and upon returning home I was so perfectly pampered and loved by Alison that it almost made the whole ordeal worthwhile.
I used to be able to take red eyes and work without too much difficultly.
Like the days of orderly eyebrows, those days are gone.
