Winging back to you.....

Darlings, even as you read this, I have probably arrived back from My Little Trip, and I must say it went well overall: I still hate flying (not the flying part, actually, but the airport part. I hates me the airports, and the moronic charade of "security", which just serves to Keep The Fear Alive) but the hotels were nice, the trains were lovely, and Cole is as handsome as ever.

In a nutshell, I flew to Chicago, spent the night at the Drake, and took the Zephyr to Omaha. Spent a week and a half in Council Bluffs with Mother Vel-DuRay, where we accomplished all sorts of things, and then Zephyred to Reno. I remembered again why I don't like Reno, and got back on the train for San Francisco, where I checked into the Sir Francis Drake, and spent two days upgrading software (I always upgrade software in San Francisco. That's the kind of person I am) and now I am trying the new Virgin American Airelines service back to Seattle, just in time to see off The Colonel, who is attending to urgent business in Florida for the next two weeks.

So tomorrow I return to The Major Concern, where all sorts of people have undoubtedly had all sorts of electrical problems while I have been gone, but that too will pass.

I bought some lovely new things in Council Bluffs, and will have some lovely new pictures soon. Keep refreshing your browser.

UPDATE: Virgin America has restored my faith in flying. Just dreamy, and well worth a jaunt while the prices are in their introductory phase. But I still hate the airports.
