In Chattanooga
Just a quick note to say we’ve arrived safely. I’m off to spend time with my folks.

Through D.C.
We’re on the plane in D.C. Dad, they have a Gordon Biersch in the airport. We thought of you.
In the airport
Aside from getting pulled for additional screening because of the Blue Snowball mic in my bag, it was pretty smooth getting here. They ignored the 10 stainless steel chopsticks in my bag and the liquids which I forgot to pull out. At the moment, I’m thrilled to be liberated from airport wi-fi thanks to my
Heading to Chattanooga
It’s snowing big, beautiful fluffy flakes right now as we’re getting ready to head out to the airport. We’ve given ourselves extra time to get there. The flight is listed as being on time and the snow is supposed to turn to rain about the time we’re due to take off. Fingers crossed, eh?

10:41 The downside to giving a dinner party with “correct” place-settings is dealing with the ridiculous amount of silver afterwards. # 11:53 The upside to giving a dinner party with “correct” place-settings is that I love my china and silver. I just clearly need staff for cleanup. # 12:26 Whoops.Got our phone bill.All of my

Home safely and have voted
My flight landed an hour later than scheduled, but it got me here, so that’s what counts. I came home, dropped my bags, sponged off because I was rank, changed clothes and then Rob and I went to vote. This is the first time in twenty years that I’ve voted in person for a presidential

Delayed
The flight out of Calgary was delayed due to weather in San Fransisco. So we landed after my flight to Newark was supposed to have left. Fortunately, that flight was also delayed and it looks like I’ll get on. I should be back in NYC at 7:30 tomorrow morning.

Calling for Obama
I decided to use my time wisely and I’m making calls for Obama from the airport. The Obama/Biden website has a couple of different, easy ways you can volunteer. I’m calling North Carolina, because that’s where I grew up. It’s been interesting. I made forty calls this morning and spoke to about a third of
On my way home from Calgary
So I got to the airport three hours before I thought my flight departed. You see where this is going, don’t you? At some point, my 5:30 flight was moved to 1:55. They usually send a notice, so I can only assume that it got caught in my spam filter. But, since I didn’t check

In NYC, harvest has begun.
And lo! I have returned to NYC and yet I have not slain any of the tourists who insist on stopping at the top of the stairs. The cats are very needy because Rob has been working long hours at the winery. He got home around 8:30 tonight and smelled like grape juice. The grapes
