    Well…I’m sitting here in the Chatt airport (emailing via my handy Treo) and they just announced they discovered a “maintenance problem” with the plane…so we may not be boarding at 6 pm EST as planned. Hopefully it’s no biggy… I have a good hour between connections. And no… I haven’t figured out where the commas…

  • Leaving for west coast…

    I’m on my way to San Francisco… my annual pilgrimmage to this fun city by the bay. More updates and pix most every day!
