Books over first class

Just a few minutes to board.

Nixed the upgrade option and spent half the amount on books for the
family.

The bonus? One is by GK.

MN and GK and tacomachickadee all in one day, great things. Great,
great things.

Minnesota sunrise

Here is the view over my shoulder this morning.

I am just a bit shy of six hours away from being in my own time zone.

What have you seen for the last two hours?

My view:

Delays

I am told that there is a weather delay at O'Hare, and airtraffic
control issue with one of their three runways for landing... United
has put us on the runway since noon, there was no prior announcement
of these delays, so I am unable to reroute my path to MN.

Free market? Phht. Captive monolopy.

Bye bye PA

I am waiting' for the class based seating system to permit me to board.

Ah brotherly love.

Well the airport at least.

Nice, quick flight.

1.5 hours to find the next gate...or those pieces of the Triforce.

I'm heading home

Thus begins 7 hours of travel to get 1/2 way home.

But it is to go home...back to family and childhood memories.

In a way it is both too soon and too late.
