Hitchin' A Ride
It's dark out there.
Nothing surprising. Stuffing all my junk back into my bags. i swear, you'd THINK that all those years in the Army would have taught me to pack light. The trick is that deploying with a dog allows you to bring all kinds of extra "K9 equipment". Besides, between toys and "optional couture", it's a lot to stuff in a bag. Plus, i've got these giant binders from the class that i have to drag back with me. So, it's stuff, stuff, stuff...
Speaking of stuff, i have to get my stuff (and my fat ass) to Love Field tomorrow evening. My flight is at 8pm and, as i found out today, i'll be loose at about 4pm. i figure i should be at the airport by 6:30 to check in...this gives me 2-1/2 hours to go just over 9 miles.
Now, i COULD take a taxi to the airport (the original plan when i thought i was getting out later), hang out at the airport bar and drink overpriced beer.
OOOOooorrrrrr.......
Is anyone free tomorrow (Friday) afternoon? i figure that instead of paying a cab, why not take the opportunity to meet someone i haven't met in person before. So, if you want to pick me up, i'll buy you dinner along the way, we can have a couple drinks, and i'll give you ten bucks for gas. (And YES, you WILL take it because i'm going to put it on my expense account...up to $25 w/out a receipt!).
i can't promise witty reparte, but i'll do my best. If nothing else, you'll have a full belly and a big bear hug for your trouble. Let me know what you think.
Meanwhile...here they come...
