This is how the day started out:
- 13:20 Amy Chirgwin on our staff hooked me up with a ticket to see my dad in AK, via her fiancee, Ken. Also, my dad’s name is Ken. #

- 19:36 Taking off for PDX. #
- 19:38 Stopped for gas. $68, that’s an improvement. #
- 19:40 Still, sometimes I miss the 49mpg and $19 tank fill that I got from the Geo Metro. #
- 20:01 Just got off the phone with my sister Theresa. Hi, T! #
- 20:50 Just dropped the car off at Economy Parking, hopping the tram to the terminal. #
- 21:15 Checked in and through security. Looking for a bathroom. #
- 21:30 This is like the twilight zone. There’s nobody down at this gate, not even workers. Waitaminnit… #
- 21:32 Ok, I’m a flipping idiot. I mistook the seat number for the gate number. Great. 10 minute hotfoot back to the other side of PDX. #
- 21:43 In the plane finally. See you in AK! #
…and ended pretty much like that. Nighty night!
