  • I made it on the Atlanta flight.  I think I got the last seat available. Amazingly cool! It did make for a long day of work and travel.  I was up at 6:30 am (EDT) on Thursday.  I went for a run and then had breakfast and then worked until…

  • CNN: "Travelers work out boredom: When Harvey "Chip" Reed has a few hours to kill between flights at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, he doesn’t wander aimlessly or fill up on fast food. He works out." This seems like a good idea at first glance.  I’ll have to think about it…

  • I was on travel for work all this week to DC. It was a long trip for me — 5 (Mon-Fri) days with several 14+ hour work days.  But I was able to get everything I need done last night (Thu) at 7 p.m. EDT so I switched my flight…
