rise with fire

I am safely ensconced in the city of sin, after an absolutely brutal day of travel. Most of my trips have been relatively smooth the last few years, but today I got a notification that my flight to Denver was delayed two hours just as I was parking at the Des Moines airport. This resulted in them rebooking me on a later Denver to SFO flight (and, insultingly, booting me out of business and into economy). I did get to have a burger in Des Moines, so at least I wasn't starving. But they boarded us earlier than necessary so we could sit on the plane for like an hour before taking off...

And then when we got to Denver, my later flight also ended up being delayed over an hour, and much of that delay was spent needlessly sitting on the plane. And when we finally got to SFO, there was a baggage handling delay...and so all told, my trip door to door from my house to my SF hotel took thirteen hours, which was far longer than I anticipated.

But, I made it and so did my bag, and now I'm going to bed - goodnight!
