The Periphery of the Mind

Long time no post....

I think I'm finally fully recovered from the Stomach Bug of Doom which caused me to miss a week of work. I'll spare you the details except to say I actually went to a doctor to see if he could help. He couldn't.

Friday I got up around one in the morning to take Maryanne to the Tulsa International Airport, TUL for those needing the abbreviation. Her flight to Canada was at 6:45 or so, and we wanted to be sure we were there early. We left the house around 2:15, and were there right around 4:00. Driving Tulsa at four in the morning is actually pretty nice; if I had been more cognizant I'm sure I would have liked it better. I left her at security at 5:45 and headed home. She called me later, when she arrived, and said one of her planes got bumped by a luggage cart; rather than risk flying a plane with hidden damage, they shuffled her flights around and ended up causing her to be three hours late. But she made it, and was four-wheeling yesterday and horseback riding today. Sounds fun, but I'd rather be lounging at a beach. She should be back Sunday around ten at night. I'm actually looking forward to the drive.

Oh yeah, the worst traffic I've seen in NWA isn't 540 from Fayetteville to Bentonville. It's the rush into Springdale from Tontitown on 412. Seriously, it's congested to the point of almost being useless.
